Key quotes from Jackie Sherrill interview

“You have to start by looking at the South Carolina game and the sudden the performance the team had. That put them all the way up in the Top 10, but now you've had three games where the opponent was not the same. Those opponents did not have the offensive line or the running back that they are going to see Saturday."

“Arkansas is going to try to control the clock. It reminds me of years ago when we went to Arkansas when we played Ken Hatfield. We were playing in Little Rock, and I look up and see we’re in the second quarter and we’ve only had the ball two times.”

“Arkansas is going to do some things that very few teams can practice against. It’ll either be unbalanced or wing set, so it makes you make a lot of adjustments up front.”

“What I’m looking for from A&M is getting the players to play with their emotions to win that game. Right now this is one of those games, they’re going to have to play tougher and more physical than they have played. This game this week, will be a very physical game and it comes down to how mentally tough you are and how physical you are.”

“When you play a running team like this, it’s going to come down to your two defensive linemen inside and your middle linebacker. Can those guys inside have enough anchor to them to take up the blocks and not get knocked back off line of scrimmage?”

“Like everybody else they’re going to try to put the pressure on Kenny Hill and make him make a mistake. I’ve only seen Hill make two mistakes so far, so he’s a little more ahead of the game than what anybody anticipated. I don’t even know if our coaching staff understood. When competition started it got a lot better.”

“I think LSU at the end of the year will be a lot better than they are right now. If LSU was normal LSU, then think about how strong the SEC West would be. You’ll always have Alabama, Auburn, and LSU, but now you’ve got A&M, Mississippi, Mississippi State and I don’t see anybody jumping on the bandwagon to play Arkansas. There’s not a team in the West that can’t line up and beat anybody at any time.”

I was thinking that could be a real risk for A&M in this game if they fell behind early. Arkansas less likely to turn the ball over and they can have long sustained drives which will keep the A&M offense off the field. It is going to be so critical for A&M to get ahead early in this one and not make any crucial early mistakes. Should be a good matchup and one I think A&M wins.
