GARETH PATTERSON STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Arkansas junior quarterback Tyler Wilson met with the media to talk about his performance in the 38-14 win over No. 15 Auburn. He discussed completing 19 consecutive passes against the Tigers, his maturation as a quarterback and going into the bye week 5-1, ! lmed in the week leading up the Auburn game. Wilson is on pace to break predecessor Ryan Mallett’s single-season passing record, racking up 1,779 yards and 12 touchdowns in the Razorbacks’ ! rst six games. What was it like completing 19 passes in a row? I think we got in a got in a good rhythm. We got in a good pace o$ ensively. We were up-tempo. When you’re able to do that, you’re able to get in a rhythm. How big is it to beat two top-15 teams in a row for the ! rst time since 1999 and just the second time in school history? Obviously, you think about winning these games. # at’s why you play. We’ve always thought we had a good team. A! er the Alabama game, it was kind of a letdown. We’d built up for pretty much the entire summer on that game, but it shows character, the way we responded the last couple weeks. I’m proud of our team. Does it feel good to get revenge for the 65-43 loss at Auburn last season when you threw two fourth-quarter interceptions as they pulled away? Obviously it feels good to win your " rst SEC game. Little bit of revenge. I don’t hold it against them. I felt it was more me than them down there last year. Abso- lutely, happy. Did you realize you hit 19 passes in a row? No. You don’t. I think I should’ve hit every one of them. I look at my game and go, ‘Gah, that wasn’t very good.’ I told [o$ ensive coordinator Garrick] McGee that on the sideline a! er. I said, ‘Gah, there are a lot of plays out there I wish I had ONE ON ONE WITH Aback.’ Nineteen in a row’s good. RAZOR Coach Petrino said you willed the team to the win. What did he mean by that? I just don’t like lose. Maybe you can see competitiveness in my eyes. # e ship’s not going down. How big is getting this win going into the bye week? Does it set you up to con- tend for the SEC West title late in the season? It’s big. We can only take care of ourselves. We can only focus on us. We take care of our business and things will fall into place. We’re going to continue to work. # ere’s great teams and everybody’s got to play each other. Anything can happen. I’m going to keep my guys focused.
