Arkansas coach Bret Bielema on loss

"Give credit to A&M. Obviously, the fourth quarter, they'll remember for them and one for us as well. I think the good news about today is I'm giving all the credit to A&M. They did it. But a lot o things that caused us to lose this game today came from within our own locker room. Not getting down on my guys. You know, a certain part of our process to get to where we need to be. I think we made a lot of positive steps forward. But we talk all the time, our third edge is about playing clean. And that means playing penalty free. Don't put yourself in a position to beat yourself by what you're doing. And we can't win with eight penalties. I know that. But the god news is we can correct those things, and I thought our guys did several things throughout the course of the game to get excited about. But obviously, not enough to close it.

"It was the back side of the play. So obviously did something we can't do. We talk all the time about earning everything. We earned the penalty. And that took a potential scoring play off the board for us."

"I thought our defense did a good job of holding them and giving us a chance and we just couldn't get the first downs that we needed to there at the end. We finally got a drive going and stalled out and that's something that we've got to work on. We've got to finish drives like that. We've got to move the chains and keep drives like that going with the ball in our hand. That's something that we're usually pretty good at and we just couldn't get it done today."

"I guess people on the outside looking in, they can see that Arkansas has come a long way. We know how far we've come. We don't want a moral victory. We came here to win. We came up short of that."

"It's definitely frustrating. That's our bread and butter. That's what we like to do. We did it well for the most part during that game, but when it came down to it, we couldn't execute."

"It was play we've scripted quite a bit. It was very well executed by our special teams guys, so I definitely have to give credit to them. In particular (Alan) D'Appollonio, who blocked the returner down at the 10-yard line. So credit to my special teams mates."

Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin on comeback win

"What a heck of a game. Like I said after the game, I'm extremely proud of the effort of our older guys. I think a lot of our - we categorized as a youn football team with a quarterback that's young, but our older guys led us. They were in and out of a real football game, a physical game."

Sumlin on quarterback Kenny Hill

"This game was good for us as a team; it's also good for him. It's the first time this year we've really been in that situation. We were off a little bit. Things here, things there; we turned it over. But to come through and play the way he did at the end of the game is a big confidence boost for him. Not that he needs it. He is a pretty confident guy."

“That we can compete with people I the SEC. Shows us more than anything we can come back from a deficit and still come back with a win. Just got to keep fighting.”
