QUOTES

“The offensive line played much better because they’re beginning to communicate better.” – Watson

“I think they’ve got a really nice scheme that highlights their players.” – Watson, on OU

“Some guys see it a little bit sooner than others or are more natural. Other guys, it takes a little development. I don’t know one really that I’ve ever been with that didn’t have to develop.” – Watson, on Swoopes development

“We’re a work in progress. We’re not running the style we want to run.” – Watson, on the offense

“I want to run what we ran at Louisville. I want to get after people that way.” – Watson, on style he wants to run

“They’re athletes. Going to the ball, they’re great at just being physical. That’s an OU thing.” – Johnathan Gray, on OU defense

“Like I said, everybody’s getting refocused. Obviously we had a tough loss against Baylor and it’s hard to come back after a loss, but this being the Oklahoma game and our rivalry game every year at a neutral site, I think no matter how you did the game before, you’ve got to come together.” – Jaxon Shipley, on team attitude this week
