The score affects the clock and it affects the plays you select, but it should not affect how hard you try. We had some cases where it did, and we’ll be addressing that Sunday.

The allegation is that the linemen, their helmets don’t break the belts of the center. I’ll have to look at the film and see if that’s the case.

We had a balance emphasis from last year’s class. It caused us to look at more defensive players than offensive players. I think this is the best recruiting class that we’ve had since I’ve been...

You can just tell they’ve played a lot of football and have a lot of confidence.

They hit harder than we did. They ran faster than we did. They wanted to win the game more than we did.

Some of the most interesting things about him are his ability to handle a staff and a team. He had a great presence and a John Wayne-type of quality. There is a lot to be...

They challenged us. They said, ‘Here, try to run past us, try to run inside us.’ And they were better at preventing that than we were throwing and catching it.

I think that was significant. They dominated that drive and got the upper hand.

I’ve heard people squawking about that. I have virtually no concern with how long games are. If they were to make them an hour longer, that would suit me just fine.

We’re still battling to play smart,

Each year is a new year. And in the course of winning some games, we exorcise some demons, especially for some fans, that would be great.

The speed impacted our margin of error.

It has to be the right kind of kid, somebody who has a level of reliability who could benefit from another semester of seasoning to get ready to play. It gives them a better chance...

It’s the toughest position in our offense to play, … You’re called on to rush the ball, to catch the ball and to block and protect. That can be tough to sort out because he...

I would have to say that this is the best Texas team that I have been involved in playing against. Texas is a great team. They would find a way to make the big play...

Dave lived a great life that anyone could be proud of. He will be missed, but we are honored to have had the opportunity to know him.

It’s pretty difficult for me to try him any more than he’s already been tried. I don’t feel particularly good about denying a guy an opportunity on a misdemeanor alone. If he’d had a couple...

That was a drive where if you dominate you get the upper hand. They dominated the drive and they got the upper hand.

I always thought it was incredibly ridiculous to try to shorten the games, … The people who think the game’s are too long can shut their TV’s off.

I thought he was steady, … There’s always a level of jitters that goes on with a guy that’s starting his first game. He hid it well. I’m sure he had some.

It didn’t look very good when it left his foot. I had high hopes for it not being good at that point. Did he make it?

The first drive of the second half was the most significant drive of the game. They controlled the ball in the second half, keeping our offense off the field.

Distributing the ball to all the different skill players is our biggest emphasis. We’re not a team that hands it to one guy and throws it to two. We want all five skill positions to...

We’re older on defense than we’ve been the last couple years. We had been playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores. Now we’re predominantly juniors.

He’s got great feet. It’s extremely difficult to find guys who can move around and be as versatile as he is.

I like this one because it is isolated.

Definitely, this is a great set of reinforcements and we’re excited to get them up here and get them to work.

Toward the end of last year, they really started playing together. They’re coming downhill faster, they’re much more sure of themselves.

The one thing that I discovered about European sports is that they’re really good with their feet. I had my choice of something like six kickers, … But to make a long story short, they...

There’s going to be times a guy’s having a tough day or tough series or something like that, but you’re not going to have the ability to develop through it unless you stick with it,...

The thing that Alabama did a good job of is that they didn’t leave you any slack. It was frustrating because I never felt like we were really clicking.

I can’t address that, but, yeah, I appreciate your words of support there.

For whatever reason, screens tend to gas a defense more than the offense. And if they’re going to blitz, it helps keep them honest so you can run your other stuff.

for quarterbacks.

I’m really proud of what they’ve been able to accomplish. I’ve followed what they’ve done and have really been impressed. He’s done a good job.

I don’t know that the past years have much to do with it. The teams are all kind of separate.

I think they realize I’ve done a good job for them, and they wanted to reward me and make sure I’m here for a few years. It’s not a lottery deal, but I’m happy with...

He was real accurate. He was a smart guy. In competitive situations, he was relaxed and had a high level of composure. He didn’t get rattled.

He’s pretty much gotten steadily better every year since he’s been here, … He’s bigger than both of them [6-foot-4, 220 pounds], has a strong arm, a quick release. He’s like B.J. from the standpoint...

I think they’re going to be really good.

I think he settled down and bounced back really well. I feel like that’s one of the qualities that he does a good job at.

I think the biggest thing was our own consistency. Alabama’s high level of play and our consistency (was the difference).

He touches the ball more than anybody else.

I’ve said this one time before ? if anybody could do it, we wouldn’t go around the country recruiting these guys to play quarterback. We’d just go to 7-Eleven and pull the guys out of...

As a long snapper, I really don’t want to get my name out there too much. Most guys, if you’re a long snapper and your name is mentioned, it’s usually because you messed up.

I would have to say this is the best Texas team that I have been involved in playing against,

Defensively, I think this is the most impressive group of guys able to respond to play after play. Overall, they did a great job making big plays and working well together.

We’ll have to wake up at 5:45 [a.m.], but it’s not necessarily a concern. You play when you play.

It was a tightly contested game by two really good teams. But I guess I felt like they outplayed us on all three sides of the ball by a narrow margin.

Moses was in high school the last time these guys lost a homecoming game.
