He wasn't making the cuts he was used to making. We knew there was a chance he may not play.
Bob Stoops -
We'll see. At this point, we anticipate him playing. Start or not depends on how we feel practice is going, what we feel we need to do. Depending on what further happens from here, we'll see.

That didn't surprise me at all. Clint is just a ball magnet. He makes plays like that every day.
Bob Stoops -
Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure.
Bob Stoops -
It kind of just typifies our whole year. We've been fighting all year. I'm proud of our guys for competing the way they did.
Bob Stoops -
Watching the TCU game and critiquing it Sunday on tape, we just weren't very physical up front. TCU just outplayed and outcoached us.
Bob Stoops -
I think you're always looking for guys, especially in the offensive line, that are just tough, hard-working, fighting guys. That's what you look for. It's not always the easiest thing to find.
Bob Stoops -
This just kind of typifies our whole year. We have a great group of young guys that are capable of becoming very good. This team just continued to fight and make plays as it gained confidence down the stretch.

With all my Iowa ties, I do my best to watch the game indifferently. But you have to be happy for Dan. He's been building that program and that sure is a big step for them.
Bob Stoops -
He's still a few weeks away from what the book says, but strength-wise he appears to be solid. What's the magical day is hard to determine. I think the doctors will evaluate him on today and see if he can't start doing some work.
Bob Stoops -
Obtained professional advice to ensure that we followed applicable laws.
Bob Stoops -
They're a very solid team in everything they do. Watching them against Minnesota, there were a good number of plays and series where they were really playing well and executing on both sides of the ball.
Bob Stoops -
This shows the youth that we have and the way that we have grown throughout the year. We have a number of young guys who are capable of being really good, and I think they'll get better and better.
Bob Stoops -
It's easy to jump on one guy when something goes wrong. Hey, that's fine. We deserve the criticism, but track records over time also stand for something.

He has worked hard on improving himself in many ways.
Bob Stoops -
I don't root for either team, but in the end, I have to be happy for Dan and the way he's building that program. They continue to make improvements. I'm sure this is a big step for them.
Bob Stoops -
Our expectations are always high. I don't know why anybody could ever argue why they wouldn't be. Once our expectations are set, this is what we're after, and then it gets down to each game.
Bob Stoops -
He got better and better as the week went, and was close the other day. He just didn't have the lateral movement and the pace that he needs.
Bob Stoops -
They are a very talented group of guys. They all have different styles in the way they run.
Bob Stoops -
It matters, your game plan. But in the end, there are a lot of ways to play defense, and there are a lot of ways to run or throw the football. If you don't block anybody, I don't care what your grand scheme is, if that nose guard is in your backfield three yards, it doesn't matter.

Each day he's gotten more and more confident, knocking the rust off. Larry brings a lot of energy defensively, just with his attitude and all. Having him available to play to some degree hopefully will be a boost for us.
Bob Stoops -
You guys probably forgot how he played those first 12 games.
Bob Stoops -
I think they're great. I don't know if that's a surprise to anybody.
Bob Stoops -
Now, it's more building their confidence. That's where we're at, ... We have to just do our job, do it as hard as we can do it and just play smarter. If we do that alone, we've got a chance to improve. Just not making mistakes and take care of the ball.
