We knew he was an excellent quarterback. We had him hemmed in in the first half, but we weren't good enough to do it the whole game. |
We know that [Mitchell] is our best quarterback. Antonio [Heffner] will be in there some. We will let him play, and he can do a lot of good things. Cade [Thompson] may play a little bit here and there. |
We look for each player to play his assignment and make a play or two. We're going to practice everybody about the same amount - mostly the younger guys, the guys who haven't played much, which is about the whole team. We're going to try to improve, try to get better. |
We look forward to some good times. |
We never did make an extra point. |
We played well at times both offensively and defensively. But in the whole realm of 60 minutes we didn't play good enough to beat Missouri. It seems like they played faster than our guys did. Give them credit, they kicked our tails. |
We realize we have not done anything to earn the spotlight, ... but we'll take it. |
We realize we have not done anything to earn the spotlight, but we'll take it, ... Hopefully, our play will prove that maybe we deserve it. So that's what we'll try and do Thursday night. |
We should have won the game. We had our chances. There were a lot of ifs. |
We thought we had a chance to make history if the ball bounced our way, and it did. |
We threw one up, but we should have tackled the guy somewhere. We should have been able to run that guy down, but we couldn't do it. That was just one of the big plays in the game. Nah, 28-7 is no safe lead for us. We didn't force a punt in the second half, so it wasn't safe. They should have scored another touchdown. |
We want to play big time, so we have to act big time all year long. |
We were fortunate ... their safety, Lynn Hughes, fell down, |
We were just talking about who was the fastest in uniform, and I said Mike West. He got a good jump and he was gone. That's why we've got him at receiver. We're just teaching him how to run routes now. |
We weren't quite good enough. We didn't block well enough or tackle well enough and that was the difference in the ball game. A little block here, a little tackle there. |
