LSU Post-Game Quotes
Auburn vs. LSU
Pat Dye Field at Jordan-Hare StadiumSeptember 20, 2008
LSU Running Back Charles Scott
On being the first LSU player get 100 yards against Auburn this
season*
*Right now I am thinking it was the hardest 100 yards of my life.
They have a great defense, but I know our defense played hard and we
wanted to win.*
On encouraging quarterback Jarrett Lee after his interception in the
second quarter*
*I just kept telling him to stay focused. We are all going to make
mistakes, but we are going to stay in it and fight together.
On recovering after starting quarterback Andrew Hatch's injury*
*It was good that we have been running two quarterbacks since camp.
So, just because he went down does not mean we are going to miss a beat.
When (Jarrett) Lee stepped in, we just kept rolling.*
On getting the come-from-behind victory*
*It was a great comeback. We expected to have to come from behind. It
does not matter if it is LSU vs. Auburn, LSU, vs. Georgia, or any SEC
team, we expect to play a game like this. We prepared ourselves
mentally, we knew we were going to be playing a four-quarter game. We
went all-out tonight.
LSU Quarterback Jarrett Lee
On coming in after starting quarterback Andrew Hatch's injury*
*It was unfortunate that he went down, but I knew I had to come in
and make plays. In the first half, I made some poor decisions, but in
the second half I knew I had to come back and make some plays for my
team.*
On the second half comeback*
*I knew the receivers were getting open and the offensive line was
blocking, so I had to make the plays.*
On the second-quarter interception*
*The defense was not even set, I tried to snap the ball fast and get
it out to Keiland Williams, but the defense got to the right place at
the right time and scored.*
On returning in the second half*
*I knew I would get back in. I just knew when the opportunity came to
me, I had to make the right decisions. Unfortunately, I did not make the
right decisions the first time, but when they called my name again, I
came through.*
LSU Receiver Brandon LaFell
On winning after losing in Auburn in 2006*
*I was hoping that I would have a couple situations where I could
make big plays. I was not happy when I turned the ball over and then
when I saw (Andrew) Hatch go down, I knew I had to step up, stay focused
and make the big plays when it was my time.*
On Jarrett Lee's performance*
*Everybody was pretty down when we went into the lockerroom at
halftime and he came in there and kept us motivated. He kept talking
about how we have been there before and then when we got back on the
field, he kept giving us opportunities to make big plays as receivers. I
kept looking for the ball every time. As a receiver, you want the ball
to come to you and you want to make the big plays.*
LSU Defensive Tackle Ricky Jean-Francois
On the second-half stop*
*Everybody was told to get the stop. Our offense was moving and we
need to keep moving because we kind of struggled in the first half.*
On 15-yard penalty*
*I just told everyone that we needed to calm down. We are a team that
doesn*t really get down. Other teams would, but we don*t.*
On how big of a win it was for LSU*
*It was a great big win. This game is based a lot on tradition with
the home team and we broke that tonight.*
LSU Defensive End Tyson Jackson
On the defensive stop to start the second half*
*We had pretty much figured out their offense. They made a few big
plays, but that was because of our missed assignments. We were able to
come together as a team and make the big play.*
On how big of a win it was for LSU*
*This is probably one of our biggest wins. We played great the whole
game and we were able to move the ball down the field.*
On covering the spread offense*
*We handled it pretty well. We were prepared for it and we were able
to adjust on the run.*
