Their quarterback, from what I could tell, made the right decision almost every time. Even when you get them in your sights and you call the right defense and you get guys in position, you still have to get them down.
There's definitely some differences in style. That may give us grief in terms of preparation.
A team that can put pressure on the quarterback without blitzing I'm more worried about than a team that blitzes. Blitzing teams are vulnerable to the big play.
They bought a lot of time on that play. They allowed the quarterback to see it really well, stop and set his feet and make a really pretty throw.
They both weren't a good option, I didn't think.
The main thing I want to emphasize the most about Arkansas is their speed. They are fast. They've got to be the fastest team from top to bottom that we'll face. I don't think they have anybody who can't run. It's a little intimidating to watch them on film and see them run the way they do.
A.J. Bryant is a player waiting to happen. If he gets a little confidence going and a couple of catches, he can really do some big things for us.
You've got to go to the line of scrimmage with a couple of options, ... I took some of those out of his hands. I probably hurt him more than I helped.
I think it's ironic that it's happened that way. It just goes to show you how important they are to their offenses.
We played a great football team tonight. They executed beautifully. If I wasn't coaching against them, I really would have enjoyed watching it because they did a great job.
We played a great football team. They executed beautifully.
Last year, I was just hoping the other team would kick it out of the end zone so we could get it on the 20, ... So, I guess I'm hoping now we'll be able to return it past the 20.
I watched film from Wednesday's practice, and he's just a really impressive back. He's just tough. He's just a player. He's a guy you can count on. He'll run block, he'll pass block.
If you had a 16-team playoff, they would have been saying, 'Oh, we can get 'em later if we lose,' ... That was do or die for both teams. That's why it was so intense. That's why get so much excitement during the regular season. Every game is huge. Every week, you're playing for the national championship, so to speak.
