earned start
We felt, as a staff, we're going to start Thompson. We feel that he has earned it to this point.
concerns earn harder last period played players start thinking tougher won
Sometimes it concerns you that when you have won for a period time, the players start thinking you have a right to win. You have to earn it every play, and I say that every week. We didn't go out there and do it last week, and TCU played harder and tougher than we did.

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.

appears book doctors evaluate few hard magical start strength weeks
He's still a few weeks away from what the book says, but strength-wise he appears to be solid. What's the magical day is hard to determine. I think the doctors will evaluate him on (today) and see if he can't start doing some work.
coming eight guys reading starters
I keep reading about all the guys they have coming back, ... We have 10 starters coming back on offense, eight on defense.
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.
