(Sanchez) had a very solid day today. We really mixed it around and played a lot of stuff off of the running game, and we tried to balance it out more than we have in the past to make it more realistic, and he handled it very well. It's a very positive sign.
I don't understand. We've played in that setting for years, and I think it adds to the game and the excitement of it.
I have great respect for what he's done. We've played against each other, and I think it's really cool that we have this chance to match up again. This is the first time we've gone head to head as head coaches.
To get this far this fast is impressive. We have to find out how far he can take it. He played particularly well in the last scrimmage. Cushing's able to hold his own, no doubt about it.
The defense played well because the run-and-shoot is truly a challenge.
(UA) played really hard, and they had a very good defense, ... Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective. We respect the heck out of what they are doing and what they are capable of doing.
It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.
They played really hard and they had a very good defense. Their scheme is very solid. They know how to mix their looks and their pressures. They came after us and were really effective.
He was on the whole time. He was whipping it around all day and the protection was awesome for him. He just played a terrific game.
He might have played the best of all the safeties in the first game.
(Matthews) has had a very good spring. He's played almost every snap in the springtime so he's had a great opportunity to show us stuff and he's done very well.
They have played really good football, and they have tons of highlights and good things to show, ... But they have been unable to get their win in the Pac-10. That just screams about the Pac-10 offenses. They bring in a terrific running back, a terrific receiver.
In respect to the game, the game can get you sometimes. I hope that day when somebody gets us, I hope we played really well on that day and we made them play great.
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.
