"I think it goes back to that three game stretch of Lamar, Rice and SMU. The game was not as fast to Kenny and then all of the sudden in the first quarter of the Arkansas game, it was faster and he did not perform well."
"You really cannot dwell on the loss, it’s over and hopefully you can evaluate and fix it, but now you have a bigger challenge. If you are still angry and focusing on that, you aren’t doing your job of focusing on concentrating on the team coming in."
"Bouncing back after the big win can be a huge issue for Ole miss. Right now, they did something and everybody from their girlfriends to their cousins and everybody on campus is not talking about A&M, they are talking about Alabama. They won’t let you move on, but that is when you, Ole Miss, have to be grounded and understand the challenge you have."
"When you break down defenses, you want to break down the production of the player, and you do that by looking at sacks, tackles interceptions etc.. If you took just the Mississipip State game, it is very clear the linebackers should have had big stats, but we were not where we needed to be. To me, the best production player on the field is a freshman, Myles Garrett. Look at tackles, sacks, he produces and where else on the defensive front and linebackers are you getting that production?"
"Scheme wise we fit better playing Mississippi instead of Mississippi State. Scheme wise, offensively they are trying to do things that help the defense. Side to side, throwing the ball down the field means the quarterback has to hold the ball. When you break it down, Mississippi’s offense is better suited for our defense to play than a team that can spread or one that can go downhill like Arkansas."

Key quotes from Jackie Sherrill interview
"One area of concern was third down production. If you don’t make third downs, you don’t retain possession. Then you had nine or ten drops and you try to analyze that. Nine out of ten times people will think it’s the receiver but it could be about a catch-able football too. When it gets to the receiver, if its losing velocity it could be sailing, it could be behind.""I think it goes back to that three game stretch of Lamar, Rice and SMU.
