both experience obvious plan playing prepare question
The obvious question is the quarterback position, and right now we would plan on playing both of them. We feel like we would need both of them, because we don't have any experience at quarterback. One of them may struggle. One could get hurt. So we have to prepare both to play.

Our state is different, there's no question about that. Our media is different. Who we are is different. Our fan base in some cases is different, and you have to understand it and embrace it and not try to fight it.
coach deserving few game guy joe last overcame overcome program question turn won year
Usually the coach of the year is the guy that overcame something. We didn't overcome anything. We just won a big game at the end and we hadn't been doing that.

care country fine flying line outside reach spend state texas time
It's something that is a very fine line that you take care of the state of Texas and still being able to reach outside your state some. You do not want to spend all your time flying around the country getting one out of five, when you can get most of what you want from the state of Texas.
good hang night
Everybody's got scholarships and everybody's got good players. If it's a night where it's not working well, you better hang on and you better make some plays,
best came complete dominated guys halves played playing three today took
The best thing about today was that we played a more complete game. We've been playing halves or three quarters, but today we came out and dominated for three quarters, and then our other guys took over and we were still able to make plays.
