Nov. 18, 2000
Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops
On the Oklahoma win:
"It's a big win and it gets us in the championship game. It
locks up the south division and it was important. It went like I figured. I
thought it would be difficult for both offenses. The defenses see that day
in and day out, they just jump on the plays because they are so familiar
with it. We made enough plays and did enough good things to win the
football game. It was an excellent drive and our offense put it together
when they had to. Our defense was outstanding all day. The first half was
exceptional and we put them in some bad jams with some bad field positions
on a couple of drives in the second half, but they still played very well."
On the pass rush:
"We had good pressure and forced them to punt early where we
could come up and close on it. We tackled for the most part pretty well.
We still came up with so many turnovers and interceptions that was the
difference in the first half. They tackled well and covered well. Derrick
Strait almost intercepted their touchdown at the end of the game but it went
right through his hands. They came up with big play and overall it was a
good effort."
Bary Holleyman
On performance...
"I played a lot better today. I am getting more and more healthy
each week. I think this was my best game of the year."
On tipped ball returned for TD...
"I reached up and tipped the ball to J.T. Thatcher. I'm glad I
tipped it to him, because if I'd have caught it, I wouldn't have
gotten very far. And he returned it 85 yards for a touchdown."
Seth Littrell
On wearing #42 instead of #35...
"Throughout all my years at Oklahoma I have always wanted to wear
#42 for the last game of the year. My father, Jim Littrell,
played ball at Oklahoma, and I wanted to wear his number out of respect for
him. He is a great father."
On playing last home game...
"It is a little sad. This is my last year and my last home game. I
was real excited to be out there, but there comes a time in
every athlete's life when your playing days come to an end. I have had a
great experience at OU and a great four years."
