What They Said: “We look forward to representing the SEC in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis and competing against TCU, Rarely do we face an opponent from the Big 12, and we look forward to this matchup. Steve (Ehrhart), his staff and volunteers will take great care of our team, administrative staff and Bulldog fans.” – UGA J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity.   

“This will be my first trip to the game as a player or coach but the Liberty Bowl has a long history of providing a quality bowl experience that I’m sure our players and fans will enjoy.  We will face a quality Big 12 opponent in TCU and I’m sure Coach Patterson will have them at their best on December 30.  We are anxious to begin practice and preparations for the trip to Memphis.”  – UGA coach Kirby Smart
