Oklahoma - Texas A&M Post-Game Quotes - University of Oklahoma

Nov. 11, 2000

OU Head Coach Bob Stoops
"It was another excellent football game. A&M has an outstanding team. They have a bunch of good athletes and a great environment to play in. I'm proud of our players. We played uphill all day. We made some mistakes we don't usually make. Our defense stepped up in the fourth quarter. That was a great effort on their part. Heupel played another good game. A&M did a nice job of changing things up on coverage. It made things difficult on us. Heupel is a winner. He just finds a way to get it done. I told our players all week this game might come down to the final play and it did. It's good to be in these types of games. We hung in there and found a way to make the plays to win. That shows a lot of character. A&M made some plays that made us not play our best.

On the crowd:
"Our players handled it. We were very efficient on offense. I never saw where it was a factor."

Quarterback Josh Heupel
"A&M is a great team. They have a great defense. I give them a lot of credit. Our offense did enough to win. It's a testament to this team. Today, we kept expecting good things to happen. There was no nail biting. We were extremely confident and we knew we would get things going. A&M had a great defense, especially their front four. The kid on the end (Jason Glenn) is one of the best in the country. Their secondary did a good job and they dropped a lot of guys. This is a tough place to play. Anywhere in the Big 12 is tough to get a win on the road."

Linebacker Torrance Marshall
"It was a total team effort. Everybody played hard. It was a big win for us. In the second half, we kept our confidence. Fortunately, we made some stops."

On his interception return for a touchdown:
"I dropped back into my zone. Fortunately, I was able to catch the ball and run with it. My teammates gave me some good blocks. I was just running until somebody tackled me."

On OU's offense:
"They have kept us in a lot of games this year. We just returned the favor."
