"Obviously, we know the test that we have in front of us, facing a really good Georgia football team," Heupel said in his opening remarks. "It's a great weekend and opportunity for (College Gameday) to be here on the biggest stage in college football. While that's going on, we get a chance to also recognize and welcome back one of our own, John Henderson. College Football Hall of Famer, one of the greatest that have ever played the position and certainly one of the greats here. It would be great to have a bunch of his teammates back here as we get a chance to celebrate him. "Checker Neyland, I anticipate our fans helping bring in the Neyland Effect here and create a great atmosphere on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to the contest and the preparation during the course of the week."

While the buildup to Saturday is filled with energy and anticipation, Heupel stressed the importance of his team remaining laser-focused on the details during their prep for the Bulldogs.

"I am excited to go compete," Heupel said. "This is our conference opener against a great opponent, and it's going to be a great atmosphere. For us the preparation is going to be important, focusing in on what matters, which is your preparation and the details of it. The subtlety of this game is that you have to win one-on-ones, but you also have to play assignment sound. You're playing a really good opponent, and you can't give them anything. Then through your preparation when a play presents itself, you have to go and make it."

Head Coach Josh Heupel"How's everybody? I'm pleased with what our guys did last weekend. Today's about getting better, great in the building. Obviously, we know the test that we have in front of us, facing a really good Georgia football team. It's a great weekend, opportunity for GameDay to be here on the biggest stage in college football. While that's going on we get a chance to also recognize and welcome back one of our own, John Henderson. College Football Hall of Famer, one of the greatest to have ever played the position and certainly one of the greats here. It will be great to have a bunch of his teammates back here as we get a chance to celebrate him too. Checker Neyland, I anticipate our fans helping bring in the Neyland Effect here and create a great atmosphere on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to the contest and the preparation during the course of the week."



On what he's excited for with this week's game...
"I am excited to go compete, this is our conference opener, a great opponent and it's going to be a great atmosphere. For us the preparation is going to be important, focusing in on what matters, which is your preparation and the details of it. The subtleties of this game, you got to go win 1-on-1s but you also have to play assignment sound. You're playing a really good opponent and you can't give them anything, and then through your preparation, when a play presents itself, you got to be able to go make it."

On Georgia's ability at the line of scrimmage...
"Well, they are extremely physical as a football team, they're well coached across the board, but the line of scrimmage, the combination of those things with their skill sets, their talent and the athletic traits that they have, I think it's a combination of all those parts."
