Georgia vs. Alabama - Post Game Player Quotes
October 18, 2020 | Football
Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett and defensive back Richard LeCounte offered the selected comments following Georgia's game against Alabama.
*Alabama will be transcribing and distributing quotes from Coach Smart's press conference*
#13 Stetson Bennett | Jr. | QB
On how he saes it for himself and his game….
"I just didn't play well enough. I have to figure out how to not give bad balls, have to figure out how to not throw interceptions and how to score point in the second half."
Â
On what he saw on the interceptions…
"The first one was a batted ball. The second was tipped up. The third one I was trying to do too much and just threw it across my body. It wasn't smart and I just threw it right to the guy."
Â
On not scoring in the second half…
"I don't know. I still feel like we moved it but we just didn't finish the drives. We are going to have to watch the film and see what happened."
Â
On the mentality after his third interception…
"I was frustrated. I was frustrated with myself. Mentality didn't change, we still went down and moved the ball. I just can't have interceptions like that."
Â
On the potential to get to play Alabama again…
"Our destiny is still controlled by us, which is how you want it.  If we win out, we will probably see those guys, or somebody else, and we will be in the SEC Championship, so everything we want is still ahead of us."
Â
Â
#2 Richard LeCounte | Sr. | DB
On the pass interference call that led to a touchdown…
"Penalties will get you beat.  We have to be better in the secondary. We were able to make some plays, but they made more plays than us.  They have a great wide receiver group, great quarterback, great team."
Â
On Alabama hitting big plays through the passing game….
"We have to play better as a secondary. We gave up some big plays that they were able to capitalize on.  They have perfect throws, perfect catches and we were playing a great ball club in Alabama.Â
Â
On if this causes Georgia to go back to the drawing board…
"We have a great team, man. The team who played better tonight won. It's not really a demoralizing thing, but we will go back to the drawing board where we are able to fix where we messed up tonight and finish our season out. We're good. It's just a little bump in our road. We are here to learn from our experience and get better so they next time we'll be good."
