Quoting Mike Gundy
· “I think it went pretty well. There was some give and take with the offense and the defense. I thought (quarterback Brandon) Weeden threw the ball well. I was please with both sides of the ball. It seemed to me we had a number of guys catch the ball. We may have had 10 guys catch the ball with just the ones.”
· “I thought our effort was really good. We went ones vs. ones about 50 percent of the time.”
· “There were several situations we need to do a better job with. The defense lined up off sides and we had some false starts and a holding. We'll take a day off tomorrow and come back Monday ready to go to work.”
