7-22-10 Coach Bobby Petrino stated at SEC Media Days that he wasn’t concerned about agents paying players and thought that the answer to the problem lay with him and his coaching staff. If the young men were properly instructed and schooled, it wouldn’t be a big problem…
He also said, he liked the high expectations people have for the Hogs this year. It drives our players and coaches. It’s a good thing and we can’t shy away from it. He said he wants to embrace it (expectations)…
BP talked about the running game…He said we can move the ball on the 3rd and 4th quarters this year. He also said the defense will be improved against the run this year…
BP, when asked about “Social Media” such as Facebook. He said we have paid a lot of attention to it. The Director of Football Operations is required to be “Friends” with all football players. He said he makes them take some things off Facebook from time to time…
Ryan Mallett said he has been doing a lot of swimming this summer and is in shape and excited about the season. The radio people said he was entertaining… “I’m ready to be back on the field with my teammates”….They asked about how his right foot was. He said, “my right foot is just fine, it’s the left foot that was broke.” The radio people pointed out that only 9 of his 30 TD’s last year came on the road!
RM, talked about coming back this year. He promised his mom he would graduate. He also said he owed it to the State of Arkansas to come back. He grew up a Razorback fan and, especially with his teammates he needed to come back….
The Radio People think we will be 2nd to Alabama this year. Their big problem is the defense, they think to offense will be great! Biggest game…Sept 25th Alabama at home is that game!!!! Robb Fisher (my favorite before today) picks it Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Arkansas in that order. They agreed Ryan Mallett is a small game performer…Does not show up in Big Games!!!
