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.
ability believe chance great guys
Those guys all have ability .... I believe they've got a chance to really be a great group.
chance hanging plays tough
That was a big swing, ... We're hanging in there, with a chance to make some plays and we don't. That was tough to overcome.
building care chance hard job mistakes
Now, it's more building their confidence. That's where we're at, ... We have to just do our job, do it as hard as we can do it and just play smarter. If we do that alone, we've got a chance to improve. Just not making mistakes and take care of the ball.
chance cuts knew
He wasn't making the cuts he was used to making. We knew there was a chance he may not play.
chance fighting fights-and-fighting good pushing work
I know what will be written, but we're a work in progress, ... We're fighting that. We're going to keep pushing and making improvements each week, and if we do that, we have a chance to have a good team.
defend goes passing realize runs
When a guy's really good, he's really good. We realize that, and we realize that everything runs through him. When you look at not only the passing but also the run game, it all goes through him. He's a big factor, and we've got to really defend him.
best execute sharp stadium
With Kansas, we need to execute better. Going up to Arrowhead Stadium to play KU, we need to do our best to be as sharp as we can.

earned start
We felt, as a staff, we're going to start Thompson. We feel that he has earned it to this point.
along bolster early felt fewest line met needed number offensive players recruit returning team
We felt we needed to bolster our team along the offensive line because we had the fewest number of scholarship players returning at those positions. We feel like we met our needs. We recruit the kind of players that we feel can play early in their careers.
paul ready
We're going right now with Rhett, but we've still always got Paul ready to go.
ability bright great group guys hard respect skill together work
They all have skill ability. They are all guys who work hard and they have the respect of their teammates. They are all bright guys, and you put that all together and you have a group of great quarterbacks.
attitude available boost brings degree energy gotten hopefully knocking larry rust
Each day he's gotten more and more confident, knocking the rust off. Larry brings a lot of energy defensively, just with his attitude and all. Having him available to play to some degree hopefully will be a boost for us.
