alumni great happy move time win
It was a great win for the program, but now it's time to move on. I'm very happy for TCU, the alumni and the players. It's been a lot of fun, but now it's back to work.
biggest both center class current except group hardest lost offensive positions recruiting replace
The biggest group in our current recruiting class is offensive linemen. Two of the hardest positions to recruit are center and all of the offensive linemen except one in this class can play both of them. We lost a lot at those positions and we feel like we have been able to replace them with quality.
chance conference ourselves playing unless win
The BCS still is a long way away for us, ... We know we don't have a chance unless we win the conference title. . . . But we feel like if we keep playing better we'll give ourselves a chance.

It's going to be a great ball game. We're very closely matched in lot of ways.

The only difference between us and them is that we won two overtime games and they lost three.
bigger competition conference difference front good instead kids mexico move places players questions received since stronger understand usa west
We have received questions from players all over the West Utah, California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico since the move was announced. We understand how good the competition is, that we're going to places like BYU to play in front of 60,000 instead of some places in Conference USA to play in front of 6,000. Bigger stadiums. A stronger league. Stronger nonconference scheduling. It's all a big difference for us and yet our kids are very excited.
close move people top
I think (the players) know that they have a chance, with some other people losing, to move close to the top 10.
crisis dependable supply
We don't have a supply crisis here. We have these dependable sources.
exact gone great kept
This is one of those games. If it had gone on for another hour, it would have kept going the exact same way. It was a great ballgame.
automatic bid early high matter polls start
The way the BCS is anymore, it doesn't matter if you are an automatic bid or a non-automatic bid. You've got to start high in the polls early to be able to do anything.
couple plays turned
A couple plays here and there, and things could have turned out differently.
earned final finish game high jump opportunity top
After a game like this you always feel like you are No. 1. We wanted an opportunity to finish high and jump into the top 10 in the final rankings. I feel like we've earned it.
