believe great obviously potential
We're going to keep getting better as we go. I believe there's great potential as we go. Are we there yet? Obviously not. But we're going to keep trying.
believe believing came entire good hear media mind mistakes players ranked separation spring
We came out of spring believing that they each had a scrimmage or two that they were good at and one or two that they made some mistakes at. Each of them did that and in our mind there was not a separation going into (Thursday's) practice. I feel it's unfortunate that so many of you in the media have ranked them and have put them in place so that players have to hear that the entire summer. It's really not fair.
ability believe chance great guys
Those guys all have ability .... I believe they've got a chance to really be a great group.
attitude believe build improving learning played toughness
They're still learning and improving as they go, but they played with some attitude and toughness that we needed, ... I believe we'll build off of that.
believe deserves hard junior opportunity team worked
The team thing would be to keep him at quarterback, ... But the guy's a junior and he's worked too hard here to do that. I believe he deserves an opportunity to be on the field.
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.
bad believe poor truly
I don't believe as much as you write about it, you truly know how down it was and how poor and how bad it was,
approval believe clint everybody far final guess guys tells thinks veto
I know everybody thinks I've got the final veto and/or approval of somebody, and I guess I do, ... But he and (linebacker) Clint Ingram by far and away had all the votes. That tells you that guys who are working with him every day believe in him, too.

Watching the TCU game and critiquing it Sunday) on tape, we just weren't very physical up front. TCU just outplayed and outcoached us.

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.
convert protect
When we did protect him, we didn't convert our opportunities.
What he has been able to do is just remarkable.
