Mack Brown Both Quotations

Let's shut it up and kick it off and let people enjoy the game. Hopefully, both teams will play well enough that the game lives up to the hype because sometimes they don't.

(Ginn) is as good as any player out in space as I have ever seen. We do not feel like Holmes gets near the publicity he deserves. So both of those guys are as good as anybody we will play this year at (wide receiver).

Having two great quarterbacks is not a problem, ... It's a good situation, and I've been there. Everybody talks about, 'Which one is going to play?' But the truth is, both of them are really good and can win.

We feel like both of these young men have a chance to be great, ... These guys need to jump out there and be ready to go on Saturday.

That says a lot about the history of the two schools and the games. People have told me that the two schools are very similar. They are two of the biggest state institutions in the country, both very good academic schools and are in the capital (cities). We each have a lot of fans and a lot of talk and publicity about football. (Football) is really important at both places.

Will Allen can play both guard positions and center. He was a very durable and smart player who earned his degree at Texas and started for three straight years. He is a big, strong guy that can play in the league for 15 years.

They just both handle things well. Obviously each day we want to see some progress out of them, but they were throwing to the right place and I was really impressed.

Their offensive line's by far the best we've played. We feel like they're very similar to ours. It's going to be really fun to watch those two lines, both sides of the ball, compete against each other because it's going to be good against good.

The obvious question is the quarterback position, and right now we would plan on playing both of them. We feel like we would need both of them, because we don't have any experience at quarterback. One of them may struggle. One could get hurt. So we have to prepare both to play.

It's hard to put David or Bo on the bench. Bo's healthy right now, David's coming along really, really well, and we'd like to have formations with both those guys in.

He (Snead) has been throwing already with the other guys. They have been very impressed with his arm strength. He and Colt should have a great grasp of what's going on in the spring. Our job is to get both these guys ready to play.
