Mullen: "I don't think we played a poor game. We played a halfway decent game but we didn't do what was needed to win tonight."

Mullen: "I don’t know if there’s much else to it. They had four long touchdowns, and we had three redzone possessions and got six points."

Mullen says they "don't think" the injury to De'Runnya Wilson is serious. They'll get an update after he's examined more thoroughly.

More Mullen: "It wasn’t like they were fancy blitzes. They just rushed the quarterback and we didn’t do a great job protecting him."

Mullen on Bama's nine sacks: "They didn’t really do anything special, just kind of beat some guys."
