FAYETTEVILLE -- Quoting the wisdom of author and lecturer James C. Collins, defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads gently damned his Razorbacks unit with faint praise.

Thanks to its defense, which secured two turnovers, the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville hung with the TCU Horned Frogs 14-7 until the victors tallied touchdowns with 2:18 and 2:04 left in the game for a 28-7 victory last Saturday before a sold-out Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

"Good, not great," Rhoads said of his defense. "And as literature would tell us, 'good's the enemy of great.' We want to be a great defense.

"I thought we played good, even possibly good enough to keep us in the ballgame and give us an opportunity to win the ballgame, but we want to play great.
