It was great for the team to pull up in the bus and see the crowd and everybody there before the game against tcu. Leipold said he was disappointed but not discouraged about the loss.

He said TCU is a really good football team and he thinks she will keep finding that out as the season goes along.

Talked about the respect they have gained nationally to lose and still be ranked where they are.

On the bump recruiting from the game day he talked about the next home game they need everybody to come back with the same energy. With the recruits that were there they had recruits who came that might not have come before. They saw the atmosphere and they talked about the energy in the stadium and the environment.

Coming off of the loss it has been a different feel but the locker room understands that the one thing they have wanted to be about is consistency. They talk about their habits and what they want to do each and every day. Their approach isn't flashy but they want to be consistent in everything that they do.

Players were disappointed but they were ready to get back to work. Said they need to clean up a few mistakes and they can be successful for the rest of the year.

TCU is it confident team and explosive. He talked about winning the coin toss and taking the ball. It was a defensive game more in the first half and then the quarterback started to get hot in the second half.

Leipold said they don't know a lot of things about Daniel's injury and he did not practice again. Jalon is in good spirits and they have to see where the injury takes them and what the medical staff said. He said he will never bet against him.

Said Jalon's leadership will still be big for the football team.

He was extremely proud of Jason Bean but said he was not overly surprised. Kept improving in Fall camp and before he went on the field Leipold told him to go out and make the most of it.

Moving forward with Bean there may be a certain throw or a play that maybe they don't call based on the Personnel or who's playing. But he said that can also happen at other positions like running back. He said the loyal fans won't watch the team and think they've changed the offense for Bean.

With Bean they have to get in a good rhythm and make sure you are seeing the reads against OU.

Skinner was talking about how Kansas was really the first school to show him any interest but he tore his ACL as a senior. He thought after the ACL injury his football career might be over.

Eddie Wilson was the defensive player of the week. Said he is really starting to come into his own and play well. Has liked the scheme and has jelled with coach Panagos

On the new facilities he said it was big in one of the bigger things that has happened to the program in a long time. He said it is moving and it's moving fast. Credited Goff and Girod with getting it going.
