admit associated business coming football help impressive knew looks marquee people players respect since win
Since I have been here, we haven't had any marquee wins, ... I told the players before the game, if you are going to get any respect in this business - it has to be earned. They (TCU) were coming off a very impressive win over Oklahoma, and we knew they were going to be good. People don't want to admit it, but TCU looks down at SMU. It was a win that will not only help the football program, but everyone associated with SMU.

I'm disappointed right now in our quarterback play, ... They are such a vital cog in the offense. At that position, you need decision makers.

That's what I think. We've got to see what we're capable of doing. Obviously what we're doing right now is not consistent enough for us to win.
biggest
My biggest disappointment ... is our tackling. It was horrendous.

Hopefully it doesn't rain, ... but if it does, we will be able to accommodate our guests with tents and such.

I don't know if I want to risk it. I'm real leery.

We're a much more athletic team than we've ever been.

We're only four games into the season, ... We're a better team than we showed (against Tulane).
