We came out of spring believing that they each had a scrimmage or two that they were good at and one or two that they made some mistakes at. Each of them did that and in our mind there was not a separation going into Thursday's practice.

We need to develop a passing game that our players can execute. For whatever reason, for the past two weeks what we have been doing hasn't been productive. That is being about as kind as I can be.

No status right now. It's not something I said I'd even consider until after the TCU game. It's after the game and I haven't seen him.
