OU-WVU: Sooners Meet the Media

Head Coach Bob Stoops

On Trevor Knight...
“He is a great leader. Players realize how hard he works. He's a great teammate. He's a bright kid, so he's got respect. No question."

DC Mike Stoops

On defensive flexibility...
“I think we have a lot of flexibility. We can go a lot of different ways. We're going to continue to change our package week-to-week, and it's built off a lot of the same principles, but different angles, different people, different alignments."

CB Aaron Colvin

On shutting out ULM:
“It feels great; It's a confidence booster. But at the same time, one win or one loss doesn't define you as a team or a defense... We are encouraged by the win but we have to continue moving forward."

RB Brennan Clay

On depth at RB...
“I think it is just really made for the run game this year. We were a little bit more pass-oriented last year. But that's not going to be the case."

DB Julian Wilson

On shutting out ULM:
“We went into there knowing that we respected them as a team and they were a high-profile offense so really coming out there with a shutout was like a pat on the back.”

LB Eric Striker

On Saturday's game...
“We have to play football at the end of the day. It doesn't matter what we do, what they do, the better team is going to win."

DB Quentin Hayes

On how the defense against ULM:
“I thought we played pretty well as a defense. We tackled well and got to the ball. We covered well."

DB Gabe Lynn

On West Virginia:
“They're like a lot of other Big 12 teams, a lot of motions, a lot of switch sets. We just have to definitely be focused and watch a lot of film on them this week.”
