TENNESSEE-ARKANSAS FOOTBALL POSTGAME QUOTES
Tennessee Head Coach
Derek Dooley (opening statement): “Give Arkansas a lot of credit. They
put it to us. Not much you can say after a game like that. Very
disappointing in how it ended, but we missed a lot of opportunities.
There were a ton of missed tackles in space, on the punt return we had
about five guys right there and we’ve got to finish him off. And then
we had some fourth-and-twos. You’ve got to make a play. We don’t make a
play, throw an interception right before the half, and that hurt. When
you miss those kinds of opportunities against a team like this, you’re
going to pay, and that’s what happened.”
Tennessee Head
Coach Derek Dooley (on whether the game caught him by surprise): “No,
because these guys are good. That’s what they do, and they’ve been
doing it with a lot of teams.”
Tennessee Defensive
Lineman Maurice Couch (on the game): “We had a lot of mistakes that
they capitalized on. We had a lot of missed tackles, and they put up
their points on our mistakes.”
Tennessee Offensive
Lineman Ja’Wuan James (on the interception before the half): “We wanted
some points right there, but you can’t really put it all on (the
quarterback). If we would have done a better job on a run play before
and executed that, we probably could have had some more yards.”
