both favorites found matter picked situations whether
It doesn't really matter to me whether we are picked favorites or not. You know, we have been in both situations and we found our way in other years to championships, and other years where we have been picked favorites and not been.
chance deserves means mostly older opportunity paul played poorly saying seen sitting start takes thompson
We're going to give Rhett Bomar a chance to start and see where he takes it. 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.
everybody five game hope lined looking opposed passing share sitting touches works
He'll get his share of carries, but we also hope that we can get him another five to 10 touches through the passing game with a little more space, as opposed to everybody sitting there lined up looking at him in the backfield. How that works out, we'll see.
anybody bad explain front further goes mark pop shocked sit
I have no idea why Mark would have done that. I was as shocked as anybody in the stadium. How do you explain that? I don't know. That goes back to Pop Warner football. Mark should have made a better decision. I'm not going to sit here and go any further in front of the whole media, but it's as bad a play as there is.

I'm not going to sit here and lobby anyone. We just got our butts whipped.
critique front job sit
I'm not going to sit here and critique our quarterbacks in front of everybody. We weren't very productive, we need to do a better job and that's what were going to try to do.
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.
I think we're still better than the way we played.
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.
