No, they had most of their guys before they won the national championship.
continue executing passing
Rhett Bomar made a lot of plays, which will continue to give him confidence. He was much better in executing our passing game.
We need to make something of this week.
amount best deal entire fight happened nobody promises season short
Nobody promises you anything. We've had a lot to deal with when you look at the entire season and all that's happened in a short amount of time. You do the best you can to fight through it and you keep working.
anticipate depending depends further happens practice start
We'll see. At this point, we anticipate him playing. Start or not depends on how we feel practice is going, what we feel we need to do. Depending on what further happens from here, we'll see.
biggest both lead
To me, you look at both of those games, the turnovers are the biggest issue, and the turnovers lead to all the other problems.
accept criticize fair listen mean others teams
We're doing things discipline-wise, and everything else like we always have. That doesn't mean it's right or good, and it's fair to criticize me because some teams accept it better than others and listen or are disciplined better than others.
anxious coming demeanor locker room tough year
Every year coming into the season, I'm always the most anxious because you want to see what you are. How competitive are we? How tough are we? What's our attitude?. And what's the players' demeanor in the locker room and coming out of the tunnel?

We need to do our best to be as sharp as we can. I think that's the frustrating part for us,

This shows the youth that we have and the way that we have grown throughout the year. We have a number of young guys who are capable of being really good, and I think they'll get better and better.

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.
continue develop football game passing past players throw weeks whatever year
We need to develop a passing game that our players can execute. For whatever reason, for the past two weeks what we have been doing hasn't been productive. That is being about as kind as I can be. We are not going to continue to go through the year like this and not be able to throw the football some.
easiest fighting fights-and-fighting looking offensive
I think you're always looking for guys, especially in the offensive line, that are just tough, hard-working, fighting guys. That's what you look for. It's not always the easiest thing to find.
