I felt like Rhett started to get some rhythm and confidence in what he was doing, ... Our receivers made some nice plays, and that part of it, I feel like we're getting somewhere. |
I felt the law of averages would eventually swing back your way. We were due for something good to happen, and sure enough, it happened. |
I have no idea why Mark would have done that. I was as shocked as anybody in the stadium. How do you explain that? I don't know. That goes back to Pop Warner football. Mark should have made a better decision. I'm not going to sit here and go any further in front of the whole media, but it's as bad a play as there is. |
I have total confidence in Chuck, and I think his track record speaks for him. The proof is in what they've done. |
I just felt overall that there was a little more, maybe, consistency there to some degree, ... but it's still very close when you look at them overall. |
I keep reading about all the guys they have coming back, ... We have 10 starters coming back on offense, eight on defense. |
I know everybody thinks I've got the final veto and/or approval of somebody, and I guess I do, ... But he and (linebacker) Clint Ingram by far and away had all the votes. That tells you that guys who are working with him every day believe in him, too. |
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team. |
I like the fact that the players feel it and have some life in them, |
I probably shouldn't have said (Monday), but everyone finds out anyway. .... In fairness to him, it probably doesn't need to be me coming out and saying that. In the end, that's the situation, and it's better than all the rumors being around about it. |

I remember the night we saw him in Columbia as a freshman and thinking to myself that he was going to be a handful for the league over the next four years. That definitely turned out to be the case. He just presents so many challenges to a defense with his size, his speed and his feel of the game. He is also a player who had the respect of people around the Big 12 for the way he conducted himself. He is a person that the Missouri program and fans can be proud of in a lot of ways. |
I saw him walk in and he said he felt pretty decent. I don't know where reports of a high-ankle sprain came from. I don't think he would have been able to play like he did the rest of the game if he had a high-ankle sprain. |
I still think we haven't put it all together, and maybe that's good that we're still good enough to win. I told the guys, our 2000 national title team -- we won 12-7 here, and we went on to win out and play in the Orange Bowl. So a lot of things are setting up similarly. |
