Media Luncheon Quotes
Head Coach Les Miles
On Texas
“They are awfully talented, capable, very dangerous, big, strong and fast. They have a talented secondary, a great offense and great speed. We'll have to play awfully well to win.”
On the Texas offense
“I know that they can run the football awfully well. They have a big, powerful offensive line. I think it is a successful team, whatever the dimensions are.”
On the Oklahoma game
“There were some things as coach, that you wish your team had played better and could have possibly changed the outcome of the game. When you play a quality opponent, you can't afford to make mistakes, and certainly we made our share.”
On Cedric Benson
“He's awfully big. He is a big, strong back. We are going to have to hit him to bring him down.”
OSU Players
Defensive End Marque Fountain On the Texas offense
“When you look at film and you watch Texas you know that they run a lot. I know Vince Young can pass, I played against him in high school. You can never say that a quarterback can't pass. You have to play run and pass on defense. We know that they have a great offensive line and back.”
Quarterback Donovon Woods
On how to improve
“We need to listen to the coaches and do the things they are asking us to do and concentrate.”
On playing in tough situations
“It's going to be tough for everybody. No matter how many times you are put in that situation, you are probably never going to get used to it. You just have to bounce back from it like we are trying to do.” Safety Jamie Thompson
On making tackles
“I basically just try to always get to the ball. Coaches always emphasize that if you get to the ball things will happen. Our scheme put me in a position to make plays.”
On Texas' offense
“I think they are going to come out like Texas A&M and spread the field out and use the quarterback and running back in the run game. They are primarily a running team, so I expect them to come out and pound the ball at us.”
