I don't believe as much as you write about it, you truly know how down it was and how poor and how bad it was,
believe deserves hard junior opportunity team worked
The team thing would be to keep him at quarterback, ... But the guy's a junior and he's worked too hard here to do that. I believe he deserves an opportunity to be on the field.

They're still learning and improving as they go, but they played with some attitude and toughness that we needed, ... I believe we'll build off of that.

I know everybody thinks I've got the final veto and/or approval of somebody, and I guess I do, ... But he and (linebacker) Clint Ingram by far and away had all the votes. That tells you that guys who are working with him every day believe in him, too.

We (coaches) believe that Rhett has played well enough and is close enough that we do intend to get him snaps early in games as well as late in games.
believe believing came entire good hear media mind mistakes players ranked separation spring
We came out of spring believing that they each had a scrimmage or two that they were good at and one or two that they made some mistakes at. Each of them did that and in our mind there was not a separation going into (Thursday's) practice. I feel it's unfortunate that so many of you in the media have ranked them and have put them in place so that players have to hear that the entire summer. It's really not fair.
ball breaking field point thinking
I thought the play was really a breaking point for us. I am not at all questioning the call, but we thought we had it, then we didn't, then they went down and got a field goal. Thinking we had the ball at the 30, and then not, that was a big swing.
assignment ball boundary busting covering deep entire gave good outside played positions route secondary solid somebody tackled wheel
I thought the secondary played solid and good the entire day. The one deep wheel route we gave up on our boundary was somebody else outside of the secondary busting an assignment and not covering their guy. They tackled well for the most part, their positions on the ball and challenging in many coverage, I thought, were really pretty good.
built challenged difficult last year
I think back to last year and, I don't want to say it was easy, but we made it look easy. We weren't challenged in difficult situations. This year, we have been, and it's built our character.
attempting certain continue execute game mean parts passing past smart sure worked
Just because what we've done in the past has worked and worked well doesn't mean that it will continue to. We have really got to be smart in what we're attempting to do. We need to make some adjustments and make sure we can execute certain parts of our passing game more consistently.
challenges columbia defense definitely fans four freshman handful league missouri next night people player presents program proud remember respect saw speed thinking turned
I remember the night we saw him in Columbia as a freshman and thinking to myself that he was going to be a handful for the league over the next four years. That definitely turned out to be the case. He just presents so many challenges to a defense with his size, his speed and his feel of the game. He is also a player who had the respect of people around the Big 12 for the way he conducted himself. He is a person that the Missouri program and fans can be proud of in a lot of ways.
