Post-Game Quotes: Chick-fil-A Bowl

Dec. 31, 2008

Georgia Tech Head Coach Paul Johnson:
“It was a disappointing ending to the season. We got outplayed, we got outcoached. It was a good beating.”

“I’m proud of them for the season. I’m not going to let this put a damper on the season.”

“We started the game by kicking the ball out of bounds and it got worse from there on special teams.”

“Clearly, we weren’t ready to play so that comes back to me. Clearly, they were bigger and faster than us.”

On the LSU quarterback:
“I thought he played great. My hat’s off to him.”

“I don’t think this affects our team moving forward. The 2008 season’s over. I look forward to 2009.”

“We would have liked to have won. We would have liked to have played better, but we didn’t.”

“We got overpowered on both lines of scrimmage. More so on offense than defense.”

“I think this is the worst special teams game I can remember.”

“What happens is when you get down, we never got into a rhythm.”
