Is it human nature that we're going to be complacent? I don't see that in any way, ... As a staff, we've worked harder and longer and recruited more than ever before. Probably the opposite of what you think has happened we're more driven then ever.
We couldn't tell in the first half what happened and we wanted to find out, so we just ran it,
We're waiting to see what will happen with the running back spot. I loved the (fumbles) for our defensive side. The last week they've really gotten after it.
We're capable of playing like that in both halves. That's frustrating to the coaches. But it's just so powerful to see it happen for the second week in a row.
I don't have to make any decisions because when we started out, John David was well ahead of Mark. It couldn't happen at a better time.
We'd been having a hard time getting other offenses off the field, ... We need to get the ball back to our offense. You can see what happens when we do that.
That happened in a flash. He was up and over him. I don't even know how you can measure that time frame. He has extraordinary reactions.
It really felt this way when we talked as a team last night that this could happen in a big way. It was like we could have kept playing all night and had all that fun.
We reacted exactly like we should. We had to put a stop to the bad stuff happening before it got too deep and we did that. The defense stopped them for 40 straight minutes and the offense scored seven of the final eight times we had the ball.
Watching the film, I didn't think that would happen because they play such great pass defense and they're so aggressive. But Matt was on fire.
I like (the winning streak) a lot, and we're working to hold onto it. We have a chance to do something good again. (But) I don't care about what happened in the past. It's about getting ready for this week.
I'm confident that's not where this is going. The information that I have thus far, I don't think that's going to happen at all.
I'm concerned, ... When you play against good competition, those can be factors that set the tempo of the game for you. That has happened to us in the past three weeks. Hopefully we can rid ourselves of that. But I'm not dwelling on it, or thinking that it is the kind of team we are.
How much more can you ask of your offense? This was even more than we could have pictured. Arkansas always played such aggressive pass defense, we didn't think it would happen like this.
