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.

I saw him walk in and he said he felt pretty decent. I don't know where reports of a high-ankle sprain came from. I don't think he would have been able to play like he did the rest of the game if he had a high-ankle sprain.
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.

Kirk and Dan are great friends of mine. I do my best to watch the game and not root for either one.
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.
bit plays
We may get a little bit more than other people. You've got to be able to make plays when they do.

Playing a team that's 10-1 gets your attention big-time. Our players recognize it as a major challenge. It does excite them.
