I have total confidence in Chuck, and I think his track record speaks for him. The proof is in what they've done.

You guys probably forgot how he played those first 12 games.
Bob Stoops
-
Really, the second quarter there, late in the second quarter was really the breaking point.

Brent's an excellent coach, so if that's something that goes in a positive direction, I'm all for it.
Bob Stoops
-
It doesn't really matter to me whether we are picked favorites or not. You know, we have been in both situations and we found our way in other years to championships, and other years where we have been picked favorites and not been.
Bob Stoops
-
I still think we haven't put it all together, and maybe that's good that we're still good enough to win. I told the guys, our 2000 national title team -- we won 12-7 here, and we went on to win out and play in the Orange Bowl. So a lot of things are setting up similarly.

We're going right now with Rhett, but we've still always got Paul ready to go.
Bob Stoops
-
The competition there has been really close and really good. Between all those guys, we have a lot of confidence in whoever is out there. Who plays the best and makes the best plays will get the most time.
Bob Stoops
-
You're not going to win when you turn the ball over and put the ball on the ground like we did.
Bob Stoops
-
We're going to keep getting better as we go. I believe there's great potential as we go. Are we there yet? Obviously not. But we're going to keep trying.
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
-
You can't give up those big plays in these kind of games and overcome them.

I saw him walk in and he said he felt pretty decent. I don't know where reports of a high-ankle sprain came from. I don't think he would have been able to play like he did the rest of the game if he had a high-ankle sprain.
Bob Stoops
-
I didn't anticipate all that's happened and who we've missed.
Bob Stoops
-
Those conversations are usually pretty short. He hasn't been in that position much, and I understand where he was coming from.
Bob Stoops
-
They've been back and forth, so that's it. There's nothing else to talk about.
Bob Stoops
-
All those guys are coming in ready to play at some point.
Bob Stoops
-
We may get a little bit more than other people. You've got to be able to make plays when they do.
Bob Stoops
-
I think we're still better than the way we played.
Bob Stoops
-
They are a very talented group of guys. They all have different styles in the way they run.
Bob Stoops
-
Everyone said, 'That was a recipe, this is how everyone will do it'
Bob Stoops
-
Until we can be responsible with the ball, it's impossible to win.
Bob Stoops
-
It's not the ideal situation, I understand that, ... But I think people respect Paul and how hard he's worked, and this gives him an opportunity to do something that excites him.
Bob Stoops
-
If you can run the football, your opportunity to win increases big time, no matter who you're playing, and we're going to always try to, ... With the potential that we have in our backfield, everything should set up off of that.
