Todd Watkins Quotations

We have a real tough game in two weeks against TCU and that will prove more realistically where we're at as a team.

I got in a rut and couldn't get out of it. I tried, but it's a case of like being in the opposite of when you are in the zone and can't miss anything to not being able to catch anything.

From the middle of the third quarter, they scored every time they touched the ball.

That's the worst thing that could have happened to us. That other guy came in and made all kind of plays.

Any of those plays, if I make them, then it would have helped out our defense.

It's hard to say. They didn't do anything we didn't expect. We just didn't convert. Penalties and not converting on third downs cost us. I got behind them that first time and then the majority of their defense was that cover-two look with a corner on me and a safety moving over to help. We thought they'd do it more on the boundary. They varied that a little bit.

It seemed like it was every three plays we were going deep last year. This year, it will be mixed up a lot more, which I think will lead to more consistency in our completions.

It was Mendenhall's first victory as a head coach, so that was a moral victory for us.

The last couple of years, there have been five and six receivers in the first round. This year, I don't know if there's one definite guy.
