deserves means mostly older opportunity paul played poorly saying seen sitting thompson
By no means am I sitting here saying that Paul Thompson is responsible for the way we played Saturday. That's not the case. We had a lot of guys, mostly older guys, play as poorly as I have seen them play. We feel Rhett deserves the same opportunity that Paul had.
blame bunch coming name overall reasons stronger year
But I feel overall that coming into the year that we would have been stronger and better than we have been. You can name a bunch of reasons why we haven't been. Blame it on me. That's fine.
I am not at all questioning the call. But we thought we had it, then we didn't.
athlete athletics contribute excellent works year
He's got another year after this one to contribute and play. He's an excellent athlete who works hard. We just want to give him more opportunities to get on the field. I think he will give us more production.
along amount close coming fewest five game giving maybe nearly number overall snaps threw time
He only threw five balls. He didn't have nearly the number of snaps and preparation coming into the game ... He's had the fewest number of snaps overall when you look at his amount of time here and he's been that close all along that we feel maybe giving him more opportunities, more snaps, maybe he'll do more with it. We'll see.
balls coming five nearly number snaps threw
He only threw five balls and didn't have nearly the number of snaps in preparation coming into the game,

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.

It's really developed into somewhat of a short-term rivalry, which is kind of nice.
asking capable continue develop guys improve obvious passing sure
It's pretty obvious we need to continue to develop and improve our passing game, and to make sure of what we're asking our guys to do, they are capable of doing.
adrian anyone guys
Don't anyone ever tell me that Adrian Peterson isn't tough. Guys like him don't come around all the time.
concerns earn harder last period played players start thinking tougher won
TCU just outplayed and outcoached us. ... Sometimes it concerns you that when you have won for a period of time, the players start thinking you have a right to win. You have to earn it every play, and I say that every week. We didn't go out there and do it last week, and TCU played harder and tougher than we did.
adjust asking few last needs
It needs to improve. What we are asking them to do needs to be assessed to see if they can actually do it. Can our receivers do what we have been doing the last few years? We need to adjust and make some modifications.
fluke
It was kind of a fluke injury. There really wasn't much contact.
ball both discipline good physical players sides strong win
On both sides of the ball I see strong discipline, very good schemes, and players that play in a physical way. They play hard. That's why they win so often.
