Our team has had the longest camp in the history of camps. |
Our team has practiced well and is showing the ability to put everything on the back burner for two hours and practice a little football. |
Our team will certainly regret the fact that we couldn't do it, ... This team will have an opportunity through a season to make a contribution (to lift people's spirits). |
Rudy is quick and smart, which are two things you have to be play center. He fits in very well there and has played very well. He calls a lot of the blocking assignments and has been good at that. |
Rudy represents the best that college football has to offer. |
Several of our players have more people (evacuated family and friends) in their apartment than they have any right to have in their apartment. And you can't kick them out because certainly it's the right thing. And they're not sleeping, and some of them don't have their own bed. There's some drain on our players both emotionally and physically. |
So it will be kind of like Groundhog Day. |
Spadoni will be a guy that will play a little bit more football. Ali Highsmith and Kenny Hollis, those two will be moved around in those outside spots. We think we'll be fine there. |
Texas and Oklahoma are great rivals, and they should get the media's eye. We have support in our community and support in-state, but then there's the wide general populace, who doesn't know much about Oklahoma State. |
That was going to be an outward show, and we talked about our effort being what we really wanted to show our country, |
That was three points we could have used at the end of the game, certainly. |
That's the whole point. The whole point, when you throw the ball on the ground and you have penalties, is you can't close the game out, period. And that's what we're going to fix, and certainly if this team does that we'll have us a great year. |
the best team in college football ... we're told. |
The competition is between JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn to start, ... I think we will find that we will approach our game week and our game days, determine who our starter is and at that point in time we'd like to go with one guy from that point forward. |
The defense has played three weeks in a row the same calls and the same style, and it's coming of age. There's more comfort, understanding what to expect, anticipation of call. It's much better. |
