close fewest gets maybe number overall snaps time
He's had the fewest number of snaps overall when you look at his time here, and he's been that close all along. We feel like if he gets more snaps maybe he can do something with it. We'll see.
close movement pace week
He got better and better as the week went, and was close the other day. He just didn't have the lateral movement and the pace that he needs.
close consistency felt overall
I just felt overall that there was a little more, maybe, consistency there to some degree, ... but it's still very close when you look at them overall.
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.
best close competition confidence plays whoever
The competition there has been really close and really good. Between all those guys, we have a lot of confidence in whoever is out there. Who plays the best and makes the best plays will get the most time.
areas badly close guys played positive smart
I'm not sensitive. That's what you guys do. There are some areas where we need to play better, you don't have to tell us. But I'm smart enough to see the positive side, that as badly as we played in the first half, we were still close enough to come out with the win.
believe close early games intend late played snaps
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.
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.

Our imagination as a staff, and Chuck's imagination with the offensive staff is to move the football,
great matched opportunity ready shooting
We have a great opportunity to go down and win. That is what we are always shooting for and we will be ready to go after it. ... We feel like we are making great strides, too, and traditionally we have matched up with them.
