James Whalen, Jr., TE

On the Arkansas loss
“The loss was very disappointing. We were in control and all we had to do
was execute to hold on for the win. We had a 13 point lead and just blew it.”

On preparation for South Carolina

“We’re going into this game just like we would any other. We have to focus
and execute or we’ll get knocked off. That’s the way it is in the SEC.”

On UK’s offensive output versus Arkansas
“We had 500 yards of total offense. That’s two games worth for some
schools.”

On UK’s receiving corps

“Everyone on this team wants to win. That’s why we put our bodies on the
line the way we do. We want to play in a bowl game and we’re willing to do
whatever it takes to get there.”

Jeff Zurcher, FS

On preparation for South Carolina
“We have to focus on correcting our mistakes. We can’t dwell on last week’s
game because this week’s opponent is formidable, too. We have to rebound
and get ready to play on Saturday.”

On the Arkansas loss

“We’re disappointed, but we have to do a 180-degree turn and get ready for
South Carolina.”

Comparison of USC’s Anthony Wright and Indiana’s Antwaan Randle El
“Both of the quarterbacks are good athletes. They keep a defense on its
toes. Hopefully, we can draw on things from the IU game.”

George Massey, DL

On USC QB Anthony Wright
“Anthony Wright is a good quarterback. Hopefully we can contain him and
play as well as we did against Indiana.”

On Homecoming

“It will be good to be back at home in our own stadium. The fans always get
us ready to play.”
