[The Owls will end their third week of preseason practices with a two-hour scrimmage this morning. With the season opener at UCLA still two weeks away, the Owls will have a full Conference USA officiating crew in attendance to supervise the scrimmage and to speak to the team about 2005 rule changes.] They'll talk to the team about the way they'll interpret the rules and some other things to watch for, ... This is important, especially for the freshmen who have come in from other federations. |
As the child matures, his eyes change and he may not realize he has a deficit. |
Everybody comes here just like everybody goes to Florida. People go where the players are. |
Everybody likes to play at home, and we're no exception, ... I guarantee you we are anxious to play at home one time this year and see what it looks and feels like. |
I think every one of our guys felt that way when they started, even some on defense. That's something that they'll learn. They've known the speed of the game now, and they see that you just don't stand around; you'd better go attack somebody. |
It was a typical WAC game. |

Texas players naturally get fired up to play other Texas players. The Boises, the Fresnos, Hawaii - they didn't even know where Texas is. |
That (last year's troubles) has nothing to do with this team, |
That is probably about as good a Texas team as there has been in about 40 years. |
The defense came up with some big turnovers, ... That's good. We're around the ball hitting folks, and that was a real plus. |
Vince is everything you look for in a quarterback. We're looking forward to playing Texas. Were they to play the national championship game today, (Texas would) be in it. The biggest thing we're looking for is how much we can improve this week. That will be the key to this football team. We are committed through the whole season. |
We finally get to play, ... We're anxious to play someone else. |
We get a base line for every kindergarten and first grade student. As the students grow through maturation, the test shows any changes. It's important for parents to be aware of these changes. |
