FAYETTEVILLE- The 10th-ranked University of Arkansas football team held a scrimmage in front of 15,000 fans on Saturday night in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Head coach John L. Smith spoke with the media following the scrimmage and expressed his thoughts on the team's performance.

"We have to get better," Coach Smith said. "We have two weeks to do it and we are going to do it. There were a lot of good things tonight, but there were still some mistakes. For the most part, pretty clean tonight. Much cleaner than we were a week ago."

Coach Smith also commented on the offensive play in the scrimmage.

"The offense did a great job," Coach Smith said. "They did a good job of picking it up and moving it down the field. The offense has had great energy all week long."

The scrimmage capped a busy day for the football team. Earlier in the day, the team participated in the annual Fan Day autograph session at Bud Walton Arena. Approximately 5,000 fans had a chance to get autographs from Razorback players and Coach Smith.
