Normally I don't do this but here is the Longhorn quotes page after the game!

Head coach Mack Brown
Opening statement: I'm disappointed in the loss. We missed a great opportunity tonight to get back in the mix for some things. Give TCU credit. You can't win a football game when you have four turnovers and only gain one. They rushed the ball better than we did. I thought the kids played hard. I was proud they hung in there. I was proud they fought 'til the end. Disappointed that we played so poorly on offense. Give TCU credit for that.
On if switching QB's slowed the offense: No. I just thought we played poorly on offense.
On if Texas came out flat: No, they drove it straight down the field the first time they got it. I don't think they were flat, if they were flat they couldn't have played that hard until the end. I thought they tried really hard, just didn't play well on offense. We can sit here and talk about it, four turnovers to one, you're going to get beat most of the time. In fact, it's about 100 percent certain.
>On TCU QB Trevone Boykin's performance:I thought he did a good job. We didn't make him do much. He didn't have to throw. We couldn't score so they had 300 yards of offense, I mean 299 or something, so it was a game where we couldn't move it. We didn't force them into doing more than they needed to do offensively.



Plenty more so go read and smile about our Horned Frogs!


Go Frogs!

By the way it is quotes from Longhorns and TCU players and coaches! Not sure why we aren't putting up our quotes page lately!

On what TCU did to stop the Texas run game: They’re physical. We talked about that, their front seven being good. Those guys playing the run and being a physical team up front. Take a lot of pride in stopping the runs. That wasn’t anything that was a surprise. We knew it was going to be a challenge, and we were going to have to get in there and do our best job as well to roll those guys off the ball. They have always been a physical defense. They’ve always been a good run defense, and that is something that we knew and have got to do a better job against.





TCU PLAYERS
TB Matthew Tucker
On the win: It's a big game to all of us, and everybody is happy. We played as a team. That's how we needed to play. We played hard.

On the strong contingent of TCU supporters in the stands: I was surprised; I saw a lot of Horned Frogs fans. I thought it was going to be more Longhorn fans. Everybody [from TCU] came with us.

On his offense setting the game's tempo early: I was ready for this game. I've been waiting on this game for the longest time. The linemen were ready. They were blocking everybody. That's all that matters.

DE Cedric Reed On the TCU offensive line: They were great. Their offense is good especially [QB Trevone Boykin]. He was shifty and fast. He surprised me a couple of times when I had him right in my hands and then he was gone.

Aside from the one bad throw Boykin played outstanding.

Defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Manny Diaz
On TCU’s first drive: The surprising part was how they came out, because it was so out of character for what they had shown in conference play up to this point. We had to get to the sideline, and get that corrected. It wasn’t completely fixed the way we wanted it, but the first drive was obviously a disappointment in the way that we allowed [them] to go down field and get a touchdown.

If Boykin starts the game with confidence the team plays with it too! Kudo's to Boykin and to the coaching staff getting him to the point in believing in himself! Front line hopefully shut a few people up because it does nothing but hurt TCU with them saying "Bad line or bad coach". It's neither it's a team that's lost a lot of depth and are just now coming of age! Can't wait for next year!

By the way we could have scored 14 in the 1st quarter and still have lost! It was the second quarter touchdown that helped the team because they haven't been able to score in the second quarter! Go into the locker room after scoring is a lot better than going in after the other team has scored!

Go Frogs!

The Frogs obviously dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, all night long.

To me, this was the difference in the game, and I'll admit - was a big surprise, in my mind.

I sincerely expected UT's defensive front seven to give TCU's O-line fits, but I was wrong.

Thank goodness!

Go Frogs!
