The scouts and NFL executives all watch the practices real closely, so outside of the combine, it's the players' best chance to improve their draft status.

They hung in there in some critical situations. They overcame some real good players going out of the game for different reasons and overcame some bad breaks and some turnovers. I just told them it won't go down in history as one of the great victories in Lobo football, but it's a damn nice victory for us.

They may not get as much attention, but scouts still go to those bowls so it was a very good opportunity for them.

They want to be able to check on football players because they don't trust us. I don't think it's that big a deal for us because - I hate to say it and ruin our streak - but we haven't had a positive steroids test in eight years.

Usually you can get a feel for them by the way they look and their personalities. There are some classic symptoms that can be easy to spot. There are some guys who probably hide it well.

We need a spark to get us to the next level. I thought we underachieved some this year.

We struggled with Texas Tech's offense, and everybody has, because they spread you sideline to sideline. It's tough to defend.

We wanted to take seven to nine players from the junior-college level. The only drawback is that we wanted them here at mid-term (so they could participate in spring practice). A couple of them won?t be here until after the spring semester.

We won't change very much on offense if he's cleared to play.

We wouldn't have had a chance to travel, but we would have been able to play, and that's a pretty big deal for us.

We're at the mercy of TV. You want to be on TV.

We're not giving up on the spread, but we're not afraid to use our old two-tailback set if our guys aren't producing.

We're resilient. I think people were questioning that. I mean maybe even I was questioning it some. But they hung in there in some critical situations and overcame some real good players going out of the game for different reasons. And they overcame some bad breaks and turnovers. I just told them it won't go down in history as one of the great victories in Lobo football, but it was a damn nice victory for us.

We've come real close three times to winning a conference championship and haven't won one yet. That means we're missing something. It might not be very much.

We've got a game plan that we're comfortable with, but the rest is up to the players. It's up to them to step up and find a way to handle Missouri's offense.
