Bobby Petrino and a few players just wrapped up their Monday press conference, and here are some notes to share and prime you for our full coverage on WholeHogSports.com and in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Northwest Arkansas Times on Tuesday.

— Freshman RB Ronnie Wingo led the Razorbacks in rushing yards (4 carries for 86 yards, 1 TD) against A&M and proved himself with a 62-yard touchdown run late against Texas A&M.

Petrino was impressed with Wingo, especially on yards after contact. On one of his runs, the St. Louis native picked up an extra 11 yards after a hit. And it wasn’t on that 62-yard run. Great blocks by D.J. Williams (after getting cut on first block attempt) and Reggie Fish helped spring him open on that impressive TD, Petrino says.

On a funny note, Wingo says he’s a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and it obviously was great scoring his first touchdown as a collegian in Cowboys Stadium.

Five yards from the end zone he said he started smiling and described it as an “unbelievable feeling.”

The St. Louis native isn’t a Rams fan, explained and grew up watching the Cowboys instead.

He only was a Rams fan in 2000, he said. The Rams won the Super Bowl in 2000. Wingo’s response drew laughter from the media members in the room.

Wingo was also a bit nervous in his first game and part of the second game this season, he admitted. He’s obviously calmed down and has even corrected some mistakes, like swinging the ball wide on runs.

What made him realize he could calm down?

“They bleed just like I bleed,” Wingo said of defenders.

— De’Anthony Curtis has been very impressive to Petrino this season, especially with his blocking out of the backfield and his tackling on kickoff coverage. He was the team’s special teams player of the week last week, Petrino said.

On a funny note, Petrino calls the running back-turned-fullback a “flyback,” because true running backs don’t like being called fullbacks.

Curtis certainly looked fly on that 5-yard touchdown reception against Texas A&M.

— A little more on the running backs, Petrino says he’s been impressed by Knile Davis. He did get in after a couple of Broderick Green runs didn’t get in the end zone early against A&M. He didn’t get a carry on that play, but he was used as a play-action threat.

Davis is another one of those big-back threats.

— Freshman CB Darius Winston hurt his ankle Thursday and was held out of the game Saturday Petrino was expecting to get him some more snaps against the Aggies.. Petrino is unsure if he’ll be ready for the Auburn game.

— Dennis Johnson (thigh bruise) was swollen this morning in treatment. Unknown if he’ll be ready to go and continue his duties as the Hogs’ go-to kickoff return man. If not, Joe Adams (two returns for 41 yards against A&M), will pick up the returns.

— WR London Crawford, who broke his collarbone in the season opener Sept. 5, dressed out and participated in warm-up drills Saturday. He didn’t play, obviously, but he could be cleared for contact this week at practice, Petrino says. The senior is expected to be X-rayed this week to see how he’s healing.

— Not many similarities between Texas A&M’s hurry-up offense and Auburn’s offense under coordinator Gus Malzahn, Petrino says.

There is a lot of carry over from last season, when the Hogs defeated Tulsa, 30-23. Malzahn was the offensive coordinator that season.

— Auburn head coach Gene Chizik and Petrino have a connection. Chizik was the defensive coordinator for the Tigers while Petrino coached there as the offensive coordinator in 2002.

Petrino says he knows Chizik real well.

We’ll see how that translates with the Hogs’ offensive attack against the Tigers’ defense come Saturday at 11 a.m.
