Sumlin: Jeremy Tabuyo and Frank Iheanacho stepped in and played well. Koda Martin played well at right tackle. James White did a nice job.

Sumlin: Daeshon [Hall] had a tough week of practice but he played hard – as well as he's played – and led us.

Sumlin on Watts' INT: How about that? Great play. He's creating his own turnovers. He's playing at a high level consistently this year.

Sumlin on 12th Man: It's a big deal. It's really a representation of our student body. We can't get enough tickets for our students. Rare.

Sumlin on next week: It'll be great to have [possible top 10 game] at home. 12th Man will be in full effect.

Sumlin: Playing on road in SEC with 4 starters out. That effects all phases. But we had guys go out, handle crowd, not panic and play ball.

Sumlin "it's a tough environment, they do some neat things here. They crank that sandstorm up…it's not for everybody"
