BRYAN HARSIN

— “Good to be back home” after three road games and an off week.

— On being 9-1 coming off of bye weeks as a head coach: A chance to self-scout is one of the biggest things as a staff, and players get a chance to get healthy, especially when the bye week is later in the year, as this one is.

— On how much attention was placed on Arkansas during the off week: GAs and analysts got ahead of the scout on Arkansas last week, while Auburn’s coaching staff spent much of the week on the road recruiting. Full prep for Arkansas started Sunday.

— On Arkansas’ balance offensively: Harsin mentions quarterback KJ Jefferson’s ability as a passer and runner, as well as OC Kendal Briles’ desire to take downfield shots.

— On Auburn’s success running the ball against Ole Miss: Being physical and eliminating negative plays. Credits O-line for hitting blocks and getting downfield. Now it’s about taking care of the football, which has been an issue this season.

— On Jeremiah Wright, who started at left guard against Ole Miss and has had four position changes: He’s where he need to be, and he “brings some of that nastiness” to the offensive line, which Auburn needs.

— On Shedrick Jackson: “He is the most veteran of the group… He brings consistency.” Says Jackson is going to do things right, run the right routes, and he’s a big factor on special teams, particularly on punt coverage.

— On the role of analysts on staff: Notes there’s a limit of four GAs, and you can create analyst positions (usually 8-10, Harsin says, or one for each coach). Analysts handle advance scouts, stats and info on upcoming opponents. They’re another set of eyes to help develop players and get ahead on gameplanning for future opponents.

— On former Boise State quarterback/current Dallas Cowboys OC Kellen Moore: They still communicate and share ideas. Harsin knew early on that Moore would head down a coaching path; as a recruit in high school, Moore had a 4-inch binder full of plays he made note of from watching games on TV. Harsin is confident Moore will be an NFL head coach in the near future.

— On Halloween: “I like the holidays…. I kind of like them all.” Says his favorite Halloween candy is anything chocolate, but Snickers is the top. As a kid, he would trick-or-treat with a pillow case and wouldn’t come home until it was home. He says he’d scout out the places that did full candy bars: “I wasn’t going to waste my time.” As for his favorite Halloween movie, he says he’s not a big scary movie guy, but he cites the original Halloween and Friday the 13th movies.

— On Auburn’s biggest challenge against Arkansas: “Their speed…. They’ve got really good team speed.” Mentions running back Raheim Sanders first, the Razorbacks’ wide receivers and, of course, KJ Jefferson at QB.

— On Anders Carlson being a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, says he’s the second player he has coached to be honored for that. “Hard work does not go unnoticed…. It’s a great honor for him.” Believes Carlson will play many years in the NFL but will always be successful, even away from football, because of his approach.

— On Auburn returning home this weekend, he says every time he listens to another coach’s press conference, they make note of the environment at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Believes that says a lot about Auburn’s fanbase and its homefield advantage.
