Slaton is similar to a Darren McFadden at Arkansas. I don't know if he has that kind of speed, but he's fast enough. You can see him run away from players taking angles.

The main thing I want to emphasize the most about Arkansas is their speed. They are fast. They've got to be the fastest team from top to bottom that we'll face. I don't think they have anybody who can't run. It's a little intimidating to watch them on film and see them run the way they do.

He plays harder on a more consistent basis, and it's showing. He's always been talented. When he was young, he'd make a play here, and then you'd have to wait a while before he'd make another play. Now, even when he doesn't make a play, he's affecting a play.

It's like walking on a pillow. I've been riding 16 years and I honestly have to say that this is the safest I ever felt riding in my entire career.

He's got quick hands. He attacks the ball aggressively. And you have to like his speed. He's just a very effortless type of runner. When he hit that triple, it looked like he was coasting. Just real smooth. It's that young talent, that raw kind of young skill you like to see.

In terms of speed, I think they are very similar players. Speed is just something you have to be aware of all the time.
