Richt going over Ole Miss' roster, notes "Hugh Freeze has got 'em going," and that offensively stat-wise, "They have more of that now after eight games than they had all of last season."

Richt ...
"They've just got a really good offensive package, a good scheme, a challenging balanced attack."
"You've got to get lined up in a hurry when you play these guys. ... Our biggest challenge is going to be to line up and get ready, because they've caught a lot of people not being ready."

Richt comments on Denzel Nkemdiche (yes, he knew how to pronounce it ), says he has a "very impressive resume for a first-year starter."

Richt notes Ole Miss played Alabama about as well as anybody has.
"They played Alabama pretty darn good."
"You know they can run and hit with the big boys, and they did at Alabama."

Richt on up-tempo offense: "If you have 11 guys that can go 15 plays in a row you don't have to slow down. If you don't substitute on offense, you can go as fast as you want to go. Because those officials now are getting off the ball and letting you play."
"They snap it faster than we do. We have times where we'll go fast, but we have times we try to make it look like we'll go fast and then freeze our count ... It becomes a little bit of a guessing game at times, but we don't go as fast as they go."

Richt asked if defensive play vs Florida was a "one-time" thing ...
"That's a good question. You ought to write a story about that, maybe make everybody mad. That would be nice.
"I'm serious. I don't know what they're going to do this week. I hope they play like they played last week."

Richt says Todd Gurley's contributions against Florida were "Probably underrated, as far as what people talked about at the end of the game."
"I thought it was a tremendous performance with that many carries against that tremendous of a defense. ... That was a heck of a game, and his ball security was tremendous."

Richt on O-Line ...
"I thought the line blocked well. I won't say it was any kind of a dominating performance, but I thought they blocked well. I thought we pass protected maybe a little bit than I thought we would, and the run blocking was what I'd hoped for."

Richt on Jarvis' last forced fumble ...
"If he's not hustling, he's not making that play.
"Instead of just going to tackle the guy, he rakes the ball out of there. Pollack was a guy who had a knack for that."

Richt says of David Andrews' knee contusion ...
"We think he'll play. We don't think we have to worry about that."
"I'm not sure what we'd do if something happened to David. It would probably be Burnette. ..."

Richt ...
"I don't know if there's a better (defensive) football player in the country than Jarvis. ... If you take his per game statistics, it's pretty impressive."
He mentions Te'o at Notre Dame, says they might be "equally great."

Richt asked about recruiting Denzel and Robert Nkemdiche ...
"We did not offer his brother," Richt says of Denzel, "But we thought he was a good football player. I'm not going to get into current recruits, but (Denzel) is certainly playing well."

Murray puts the Fla mistakes mostly on his footwork, says the last INT was probably worst throw he's ever had, thrown carefully like a dart instead of a football.

I think he is the best player in America too. Jarvis has solidified his picture to be hung at UGA as one of the greats of all time.
