Really good win for the program/team, going to a place where we were 2-13 last 15 games there. Really proud of way they played, came out early and be up 35-10 at half, really proud of coaches and players for energy against a good team with a winning conference record.
Even though defensive stats look bad compared to what program is used to, played very well early. Six of first eight drives held Arkansas scoreless. Played to score in second half.
Georgia is “test of all tests,” “what Alabama used to be.”
“Kirby has done a great job,” noting no one but Alabama has beaten them in last 52 games. “Big challenge, loaded as they have been during that run, extremely talented roster, especially on defense. Like playing an NFL team — phenomenal length and speed/size ratio. Had they not slipped up last year, they would have three straight championships. That says a lot.
Henry Parrish Jr. is out. “That’s all I’ve got.”
Austin Simmons did well, made some nice throws, great touch on TD pass. “He’s done well when he’s played this year. That was really good to see.”
Sam Pittman was surprised Ole Miss didn’t use tempo as much. Kiffin said there wasn’t much to that. It was just the one-play drives. Not much tempo when there aren’t many plays. Ole Miss was operating as usual.
Great to be at home. Played well over last few years, with exception of Kentucky. Night isn’t a big deal, just upset for the fans that they don’t get a night SEC game this year. There’s a competitive advantage at night with loud atmospheres — look at South Carolina game.
Last six quarters have been what team had in mind — especially with Tre Harris out. Pass rush has been great. Umanmielen makes a big difference in that regard.
Domonique Thomas was very good in pass protection. Had some solid runs. Running game didn’t really get unleashed versus Arkansas. Thomas did a good job.
