Here is the full transcript from interviews this week with Mike Bobo and Todd Grantham. Bobo is first up, as the Georgia offensive coordinator spoke Tuesday night.

On receiver Tavarres King...

Tavarres has become more consistent. He’s become more consistent in his route running. Tavarres has always had the skill to make plays and at times, for whatever reason, he hasn’t been consistent in his route running. But he’s been real consistent and been a real team player this year, and he’s benefitted from it. He’s come up and made some big plays this year.

He’s got great speed. He’s probably one of the fastest receivers we have. He can change directions real fast with not breaking down. You saw on that post route (for a touchdown against Florida) he can change and break a defender down. He’s got that ability.

How did quarterback Aaron Murray handle the loss...

Well obviously it was a big disappointment, anytime you lose. And then when you feel personally that you might not have played your best it’s even bigger disappointment. He was like he was always, in here Sunday watching the film by himself. And he was back in here Sunday night. Monday morning he was back in here watching it again. I was like, ‘What are you doing? It’s time to move on to the next game.’ He says, ‘I’ve got to learn from my mistakes.’ That’s the kind of kid he is. He’s going to learn from it. He’s going to grow from it. He’s just going to continue to get better. And like I said after the game, the positive was, we’re not going to hit every pass and we’re not going to be perfect every time. Sometimes in a big game the magnitude makes you feel like every throw could determine the outcome. The bottom line is you just have to keep playing ball, and that’s what he did, battled and put us in a position to win the game late. We just didn’t finish.

Aaron was watching film alone?

He does because we don’t meet for the first time until Monday at three. He’s always over here by himself watching, usually working on the next opponent, finishing the last game and starting on the next opponent. His comment was, ‘I just want to watch it one more time to see if I can pick up on anything extra. Or learn something extra from it.’

Why the tight ends are getting more catches...

I think it’s a combination of us playing better as a whole on offense and executing on certain routes. And A.J. Green out there…

What percentage of plays called go to the primary receiver?

Percentage wise, usually, I’d say over 65 percent. There’s concepts of a route versus coverage, like a curl-flat play. It could go to the curl or the flat. It depends on what the curl-flat defender does. We called several curl-flat plays because they were in a single-high, three deep or man free, and they just hung in the curl and made up throw it out in the flat a couple times. We called several double posts plays and the guy stayed way deep. That’s why the tight end hit in the middle. Really there’s two primary’s, it just depends on the guy that you’re reading and what he does and who he’s going to take away. On those plays he was taking away the high post on a double post. On the curl flat they were going to hold on the curl or the slant window and make us throw to the flat. So, it just depends on what a guy underneath might do.

Who does Orson Charles remind you of?

He reminds me of the (Shannon) Sharpe that played for Denver, that wasn’t overly big but ended up making himself a very good blocker. I think that’s what Orson can do, and there’s always a threat with catching the ball.

Do you wish you’d had a tight end like Orson when you played?

Well we had some good ones in Larry Brown and (Jermaine) Wiggins. They were big tight ends who used their bodies and shielded guys, where Orson can use his speed and stretch the team more vertically.

Any thought to lining Orson up at receiver more?

We did. He lined up at receiver the other night and caught that one pass. He acted like he was running a short route and then went deep.

And here’s Grantham, Georgia’s defensive coordinator.

On the choke sign he gave in the direction of Florida kicker Chas Henry....

Here’s what I got to say: I’m very passionate about the game. I’m very passionate about the University of Georgia being very successful as a program. I want our defense to be relentless for 60 minutes. I want them to play physical, play tough, play with intensity and give everything they got until the last second’s gone. And as a competitor, and first off let me say I’m really proud of our players for the work that they’ve done in that area and the way they’ve improved in that area this year. I think it’s shown up on the field. As a competitor sometimes you get caught up in the heat of the moment. I wish the situation hadn’t happened. It was a tough, hard fought game. They won it, and I’m ready to move forward and finish out the year strong.

Have you talked to Mark Richt and Greg McGarity?

Basically, I’ve talked to both of those people. They’re aware of it, and we’re ready to move forward.

Do you feel the need to apologize to Henry?

You know I’ve kind of basically said what I need to say and I’m ready to move forward and get for Idaho State.

Was there a back-and-forth between you two?

Um, you know, it was tough, hard fought game and like I said, I’m ready to move forward with Idaho State.

What did you think of the Georgia-Florida rivalry.

It was fun. I’m ready to get forward and get ready for Idaho State and finish up with the next two teams.

I received emails or was asked on the board to ask Grantham a couple of questions. At this point of the interview...well the interview was done. He wasn’t talking about anything except Idaho State. Sorry, folks. That’s the way it goes after a loss when you get caught making gestures to the opposing kicker just before the game-winning kick, for better or worse.
