We'll do a lot of positive things in the future around these two guys.

We've got some major holes to fill, but we feel like we've got some good young players in development.

Anyone that wins 11 games and does it with the class that their program shows should be in the Top 10, in my opinion. I will give them strong consideration for my vote.

It does not tarnish my feelings about this football team. I'm very proud of my players and coaches.

These will be three of the premier players in the Big 12 Conference the next couple of years.

I don't know that I've ever coached anyone with the guts and determination that Nick Leaders has. He wasn't just out there for every game, he was out there for every practice, too.

Dobbins can be much better than last year. At this time last year, we didn't know where Dobbins would play - whether it would be as a starter or a backup. We didn't desert him; we worked with him, and he ended up being defensive newcomer of year.

I am very excited about Saturday night. It's just an exciting time and you can feel it all over this campus. We have to make sure that they're ready and focused and anxious, but not too excited that we're making errors.

We have playmakers at wide receiver, we have a quarterback that knows how to win and can turn a bad play into a good one, and we have a tailback who already has done a lot of great things for us. We'd like to keep them going from where they ended last season.
