2016 defensive line Miss. St. commitment Briston Guidry of Metairie, (La.) Rummel

"It was a great win. I wasn't shocked on the outcome. I knew the Hogs were going to come out trying to make a statement . They are on the rise to shock the SEC next year and I'm happy for coach Bret Bielema in getting his first SEC win. So I'm just proud of the guys out there .. I love the defensive line and that (Trey) Flowers guy has to be my favorite defensive linemen this year. But the rotation with those guys are great the coaches keep them with fresh legs and the battle was won up front."

Junior DE McTelvin Agim of Hope.

"I think it was a great win over a great team and organization. Seventeen SEC losses in a row is crazy and you could tell Arkansas has been hungry for it. Also they fans have been waiting for it and that's why it was so special, something like a Cinderella story. The five SEC games this year were ones they could have won if things had went a little different. They waited late in the season, intensity was at a all-time high, and they we playing for "THE BOOT"."
