(Coleman) got a lot of work last week, he's going to get a lot of work this week and we'll see where Cedric Washington is before we make the final (decision) on that. |
(Jones) felt like a lot of times he had to be Superman ... because he was the only returning starter. |
(Shavers) had a good week and we're just trying to motivate that bunch, keep them going, |
(Snider) is playing hard, he did good. He's another one that's been hurt quite a bit, but he's a guy that's motor is always running. He got in 44 plays. We need him right now. We need him to keep coming. |
(That) doesn't mean that you're not involved. You're still involved. It's just a different type of role. |
[After reviewing the film, Nutt said the call was a mystery to him.] The ball was over the receiver’s head, ... He didn’t even try for it. Randy was playing the ball. |
[Another true freshman defensive lineman, Cord Gray of Wynne who ran ahead of Shavers all August, has not been forgotten but is eligible to redshirt.] There’s another one sitting on go, ... Cord Gray has given us everything, attitude, effort, he just hasn’t played yet. |
[Arkansas sophomore quarterback Robert Johnson rolled to his left and saw nothing down field and began scrambling back to the right. He cut up field and appeared to have enough of an angle to pick up the first down but decided to dip back outside and was promptly thrown for a 4-yard loss, forcing a punt.] If he doesn’t go back outside, he has the first down, ... He wasn’t conscious of the chains. |
[Baker, the twoyear letterman from Osceola, has a knee injury that hasn’t improved as hoped.] Chris Baker will have an MRI Saturday to check his knee, ... There is still some problem there. He’ll definitely be out. |
[His Razorbacks remained on the ugly end of a 28-24 loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores.] There’s just a sick feeling, ... I got up this morning and the score hadn’t changed. What is difficult to accept is that we had so many opportunities, so many chances to put the game away. |
[It’s yet another telegraphed message that’s what on the depth chart to start the week can change with practice.] We’re not going to let anyone, ... take a lazy step who has the privilege of putting on a Razorback uniform. We feel Marcus and Michael Tate deserve the opportunity. |
[Nutt said Shavers, a touted recruit from Lucas, Texas, and Tate have excelled in practice this week but Bledsoe has not.] Bledsoe has all the talent in the world, ... but he needs to come to work every day. Right now out of four plays he’s giving us about two plays. We’ve got to have more from him and he knows that. We are expecting much better things from him. He will be in the mix, but if your name is called, you had better be going full speed. |
[Six plays later, Cutler hits Marlon White for a 6-yard touchdown with: 26 on the clock and all but locks up the 28-24 victory.] The difference was that they were able to make plays, ... and we couldn’t or didn’t. |
[Starting flanker Cedric Washington rested the hamstring Thursday he first injured a week ago.] Cedric Washington has a slightly pulled ham, ... but I think hell be full speed by Saturday night. |
[The Hogs lined up with short splits on the line and a loaded backfield, while Vanderbilt (2-0) filled the box with all it had. The Commodores won with a stalemate at the line of scrimmage as the powerful Hillis failed to move the mass.] It doesn’t matter, ... From there we have to put that ball in the end zone. |
