Head coach Bret Bielema after the game. "I was blown away to see over 51,000 fans support us today. It's a steady process. I like the progress we've made. The team responded very positively, with success on both sides of the ball. We're in great position and that gets me very excited."
Arkansas could very well be the surprise team of the conference this year. Last year was a disaster with John L. (Looney) Smith in charge. Its not like Petrino didn't have some players there in Fayetteville before getting the boot. My opinion and welcome yours......
