USC Head Coach Steve Spurrier:

Opening Statement:

"We thought we had a chance to make history if the ball bounced our way, and it did."

"I've finally got a new line - God is smiling on the Gamecocks.  That was my line after close wins at Florida."

"He wanted a shot at (the feild goal).  He's usually our short-distance (kicker).  But he's hit from fifty in practice."

"This was big for our football program and big for the University of South Carolina.  It's good to beat one of the (SEC's top teams).  Georgia, Tennessee, Florida - they're the big three in the east."

"(Blake Mitchell) came around tonight.  He did not have that nervous look.  He may have come into his own tonight."

"We've still never beaten Florida.  So that could be a historic game, too."

USC Player Quotes:

Josh Brown:

"This was definately the biggest (victory) of my career."

"Just like hitting a golf shot. When you hit that solid contact, you just know it's going through."

"We just wrote the record book for South Carolina."

Blake Mitchell:

"We've never won here.  We made history tonight."

Mike Davis:

"It felt like (the ball) was in air for an eternity.  But we were looking in there, and we saw it was long enough.  It had enough accuracy.  We just went wild."

Tennessee Head Coach Phil Fulmer: 

On the game-"That's not what we expected.  What you saw out there was unacceptable."

On the season thus far-"In my 13 years, I've not had a season like this.  I have never had anything that was easily handed to me and this (season) is not easy.  We'll make whatever tough decisions need to be made... personel looks that need to be made.  We're going to get this thing back on track."
