We have 28 practices until our next game. The best guy's going to play. We took the same approach when Brad Smith was a freshman. We're not going to shut it down and declare anyone a starter.
coached felt practices spring
Shoot, when I was in Seattle, in our 15 spring practices when I coached at Washington, 13 of them were like this. So I just I felt like I was back at home.
game glimpse great special
What a great game that was to end his career. It was a glimpse of why he is such a special player.

What happens when you lose a great player, it opens the opportunity for somebody else.

There are certain things that you have to do to play that position,
almost amazing bowl faster played quick recruiting time
Our recruiting was almost over by the time we played our bowl game. Everything's so much faster now and it's amazing how quick things go.
numbers played sure
I thought he played really well, really well. I'm not sure what his numbers were, but I think they were pretty good.

That was a great effort by Chase. The guy's a winner.
best davis football full good great guys happens jackson jimmy spring turned until
That's what happens during the season, too, sometimes, and that's why you've got to have good depth. I think we have pretty good depth. Marcus was having a great spring until he turned his ankle. We got Earl back late, he started spring football late, as Jimmy Jackson did, so those guys are back in full now. Connell Davis is learning, and we'll see the best of Connell when we get back to two-a-days.
attack certainly good mixture multiple present
I think we'll see a combination of everything. I think they'll do what they do. They're good coaches. They're smart. I think we'll see a mixture of things. They're multiple in the attack that they present to us. So we'll certainly see some of those things.
certainly hurting problems question
We're certainly disappointed that we're still having problems in that area, because there's no question that it's hurting us,
certainly felt good job lack past recruiting state
We didn't do as good in-state as we wanted to. I've felt very good in the past that we've done a good job of recruiting the state of Missouri. It certainly wasn't a lack of effort.
arkansas based exactly few game maybe offense past played reading state
They've played our offense in the past and they'll also have a game to see exactly what we're doing, and maybe Arkansas State didn't. They maybe guessed on a few things based on reading articles.
background confidence far huge kept level maybe nice stuff thrown wins
It was not just that we were down, it was all the other stuff that just kept getting thrown in our face. In my background I'm used to getting wins like this. Maybe not that far from behind, but I'm used to being a part of that. And it's nice that they'll get a huge confidence level from that.
