Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino wrapped up his weekly Monday news conference not too long ago. Here are a few of the highlights from what he and several Arkansas players had to say.

The biggest topic of discussion was by far on how do the Razorbacks rebound after back-to-back blowout losses to No. 2 Alabama and No. 5 Texas. Petrino’s message was simply his players can’t “panic,” there is still a lot of football to be played and Arkansas’ last two opponents were pretty darn good.

Arkansas center Jonathan Luigs and tight end D.J. Williams echoed much of the same sentiment.

Petrino: No need to press just yet

Luigs said he has been forced to be a more vocal leader, even though it goes against his personality. He’d prefer to lead by example and not have to say much, but he admitted that he has had to step up and fill that senior leadership role.

Petrino said wide receiver Lucas Miller (concussion) improved over the weekend, and it appears that he’ll be able to suit up Saturday to face No. 12 Florida. Miller missed last Saturday’s 52-10 loss at Texas while still recovering from a concussion suffered the previous week against Alabama.

Arkansas middle linebacker Jerry Franklin and free safety Elton Ford also said there are things they can take from last week’s poor performance against Texas quarterback Colt McCoy to help them prepare for another dual threat in Florida’s reigning Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.

Well, those are a few of the tidbits from the news conference. But there will be a lot more in Tuesday’s newspaper. So spend the two quarters and buy one.
