- Great opportunity against Arkansas, an SEC win. Likes the 11 a.m. kickoff.

- Excited about the opportunity and thinks it's an added bonus to play an SEC opponent and a power five school.

- Says Arkansas is a very talented team and a young team.

- Arkansas has played some tough teams, but says they are capable of making big, explosive plays.

- Hasn't talked to Ty Storey about returning to Arkansas, but says he's sure he'll have some extra motivation and excitement to face his former team.

- Glad for the 11 a.m. kickoff, prefers playing at that time when they are the away team.

- Said kids played extremely hard against FAU. Mentioned two plays that he personally felt bad about - the sack, fumble and throwing the interception after the blocked field goal. Feels like he put Storey in a bad situation in both of those scenarios.

- Should have called max protection on the sack, fumble. Should have gave him other options on the interceptions.

- Said those two decisions were costly for them.

- Cautious at times on taking shots down the field - has gotten more and more confident as the season has went on to take shots down the field. Says at the end of the day, it's a gut feeling and knowing when to call the play. Will always be critical on the ones that don't work out.

- Likes having a non-conference game this late in the season. Likes that it's an SEC opponent.

- Expects Arkansas not to overlook them because they are young and still have a lot to play for.

- Excited to be on a national platform and show off the WKU brand, players are excited as well.

- Likes the set up of having the bye week after the Arkansas game before heading into the final two games of the season.

- Tells his players they are evaluated based on their full body of work.

- Likes the challenge of being able to go get quality wins at the end of the regular season.

- Impressed with the job Parker Howell has done in the run game, says he asks about getting a ball thrown his way.
