Two Minute Drill: Bo Scaife

» Two-Minute Drill archives

Senior tight end Bo Scaife is an exciting and versatile receiver with great hands. The Denver native has played in 33 career games, including starting the 2004 season opener versus North Texas with fellow tight end David Thomas. Scaife pulled in two passes for 16 yards in that game, giving him 51 receptions for 665 yards for his career. He recently ran the Two-Minute Drill with MackBrown-TexasFootball.com.

On the match-up with Arkansas:
We're always up for the challenge, but this one is kind of special because they came here and defeated us last year. We're really excited about it. It's going to be a big, hostile crowd. But I think our team sees that every week and we thrive on that. It's going to be a challenge, but we are going to try and embrace it and leave there with the victory.

On coming off a 65-0 victory:
We did a lot of good things, but you have to put things into perspective. That was just one game, but we have to be able to come back and do it week after week. We are just going to try and take what we did last week and build on it. We didn't play the perfect game and that is what we are going to strive to do each week.

On Vince Young:
I think he is realizing that he is the key to the offense. It sometimes takes the quarterback a little more time because they need to know everything that is going on with the offense. He's been putting in the time and the extra work, which has allowed him to become a better quarterback. He worked on his footwork over the summer, which has helped him become better as a passer and we know what he can do while running.

On Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones:
We've got a lot of respect for their quarterback, Matt Jones. But, I think Vince is going to do what he does every Saturday and that's put on a show for everybody.

On his role on the team:
I'm just trying to keep everyone together. I think it is important to give the guys a little of what I've gained from my previous seasons. I'm bringing a blue-collar mentality to the team and everyone seems to be feeding off of it. Every one has gotten to work, and I just want to keep reminding them that we need to continue to work.
