Marcus Lattimore

On fumbling the ball on the first play:

"After that first play, it wasn't a good play, and I hated that happening, but I just had to forget about it. After a few runs, I started to feel like myself again."

On Vanderbilt's defense:

"Coming into the game, I knew they were going to be tough. D-line is always going to give 100% on every play, linebackers were good. I knew coming into the game how good they were going to be and they lived up to their hype. It's a great team that's going to have a great year."

Connor Shaw

On how he was able to come back in the game after injuring his shoulder:

"They gave me some medicine. I got a ball and just started working out, I didn't want it to get stiff on me. It was painful, but I got through it."

On Marcus Lattimore's return from injury:

"It's so nice. I knew that he was going to be able to come out here and pick up where he left off. He had a great game tonight."

On the win:

"It wasn't too pretty, but we'll take the win, especially against Vanderbilt in this place."
