Mike Stoops Good Quotations

That was something we were not good enough to overcome.

We'll wish kids good luck. If a kid has a big game or a big test coming up, we'll drop 'em a note. You've got a direct line to 'em.

This is the one time where we want to push our kids and make them compete against each other. I believe competition is good for both sides. We just believe this is the best way to improve.

It is good to have the three guys signing. They are going to be a big part of our program and will be a tremendous help in getting us to the point we want to get.

This piece of paper could look like a Monet to me. This is as good a looking sheet as you can hope for. It does not get any better.

(Wood) has a knack for making plays and getting open and running good routes. He has great hands.

We will go ones against ones all spring. I believe the competition is good for both sides. This is one time we really push our kids and make them compete against each other and make each other better.

It was good to see in the last game where B.J. finally stepped up. B.J. is a guy I think has not produced the way we thought he would. Hopefully, he has matured, and going into this third year, is starting to give us some quality depth.

He makes some plays for them. He scrambles. He makes good throws and good decisions. You can see them getting better because their quarterback play is getting better.

There were a lot of good things. I think our offensive line is much improved and we had balance in the offense.

I liked the way they all threw the ball. They've come a long way. We feel like we have three really good players there.

I'm happy with our performance, but turnovers and our running game was unsuccessful. And we are not a good enough team to make those mistakes.
