A lot of people look at the last preseason game as if it's not important. Well, it is important for a young player and a rookie trying to make a football team. Most teams have to cut down 18 or 15 players and bring eight of them back. So, I think it will be a very competitive game for the most part and I look forward to seeing these young guys play.

You can't be a Real Country unless you have a BEER and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a BEER

Whether it is big, important, another game or not, I don't know. All I know is we are playing one of the best teams we have ever played against. Ohio State is an outstanding football team. They are extremely well-coached. There isn't a facet of their game that isn't really good. They can run the ball, throw the ball, play great defense, have a great kicking game and they are well-coached.
|
They do the things they have to do. They kick the ball well. They hang on to the football. They don't make it easy for you. They're adaptable. I think that's the sign of a good football team.

We were beaten by a very good football team. The score was evident of that. We couldn't do anything on either side of the ball and that is what happens when you get beat like that.

The things I remember more about Chuck as a player were the leadership qualities he had. He was a very strong leader of our football team, and a very tough player. People on the outside may not appreciate it as much, but you see a guy who's having a hard time walking certain weeks, and then he'd go out and play. And that was a big part of the reason we were so successful during that period.
|
He's the reason this football team has been able to be so consistent through the years. His philosophy and his makeup decide the makeup of this football team, so we're a physical bunch of guys, tough-minded, because he's a real reflection of that. He's been that way since the day I got here, and our teams have been reflective of that since the day I got here. I think he's been the driving force.
|
We did a lot of things, especially in the first half, that were pretty uncharacteristic of our football team. We knew coming in that we couldn't make a lot of mistakes, but we did.
|
To be honest, we can play a lot better. We had some turnovers and made a bad decision or two. We've got to do a better job. But Texas Tech is a really good football team.
|
I think they realized what type of football team we are,
|
Toward the end of the game today, I said we've been hunting these teams, trying to get respect. And now maybe it's a situation where we're going to be hunted. We've got to understand the situation and stay as hungry and keep trying to prove that we're a good football team.
|
I don't look at it as something personal. All I wanted to do was make sure everyone knew that we have a good football team.
|
He brings a lot of ability and character to our football team.
|
That is certainly no reflection on Rick because he can help our football team win.

[The Lone Star State's best college football team is alone at the top of the Bowl Championship Series standings, but even the Texas Longhorns know Monday's rise might be fleeting.] It's a compliment, ... We understand the rankings can change weekly. What we have to do is concentrate on winning.

Let's talk about the football team. We are playing a game here on Saturday, ... Who cares about my future?
