Some Dan Mullen quotes

[MahxFahn]

• “I look at the BCS Poll – that’s what determines who gets to hold the crystal ball at the end of the year is the BCS,” Mullen said. “So I think they’re No. 1 in that poll, so that would put them squarely at No. 1.”

• How does Mullen know this game against Florida is the big game this week? “When (ESPN sideline reporter) Erin Andrews, I guess, shows up on your campus to cover a game, you know you’re playing in the game of the week.”

• The Bulldogs coach is looking to the support of his fan base for this particular game. “We’re going to need great crowd support, and I know we are selling some extra tickets for this game – standing room only tickets, and we’re expecting those to sell out pretty fast. This is the game of the year in the state of Mississippi, and we’re expecting to have the whole state behind us here helping us win this football game.”

• “Obviously, I’ve learned a lot from Urban, and I have an unbelievable respect for the program that he runs. Florida is the top program in the country right now, so it’s exciting to get the opportunity to play them – and for our kids to get the opportunity to see it on the field,”

• He believes he can use some prior knowledge of Florida’s program to his Bulldogs’ advantage. “You can use a lot of it. There’s familiarity. I mean, I know the system and the offense in helping our defensive coaches while trying to show them what (Florida) is trying to do.”

• As for that other guy, Tebow, Mullen said he and his former quarterback still talk fairly regularly. “Yeah, I talked with him after he was injured a little bit, and I think I talked with him earlier in the season. About once a month, he and I talk just to say hello, and general things like that,” Mullen said. The MSU coach also said he looks forward to being able to say hi to Tim and his family next Saturday in Starkville.
