Ken Hatfield Quotations

Vince is everything you look for in a quarterback. We're looking forward to playing Texas. Were they to play the national championship game today, (Texas would) be in it. The biggest thing we're looking for is how much we can improve this week. That will be the key to this football team. We are committed through the whole season.

That is probably about as good a Texas team as there has been in about 40 years.

I think every one of our guys felt that way when they started, even some on defense. That's something that they'll learn. They've known the speed of the game now, and they see that you just don't stand around; you'd better go attack somebody.

That (last year's troubles) has nothing to do with this team,

The defense came up with some big turnovers, ... That's good. We're around the ball hitting folks, and that was a real plus.

Everybody likes to play at home, and we're no exception, ... I guarantee you we are anxious to play at home one time this year and see what it looks and feels like.

We get a base line for every kindergarten and first grade student. As the students grow through maturation, the test shows any changes. It's important for parents to be aware of these changes.

Its a setback, but they have a good, balanced attack, ... It was a mismatch; I don't think there was any doubt about it. We weren't physically in a position (to win).

We finally get to play, ... We're anxious to play someone else.

Nobody wants to be where they are; I don't think anybody wrote that in the script. The good thing is that the players that we have love football. They want to improve, and they want to get better. If they'll continue to have that attitude ... and then you just play.
