The idea going into this game was to run the ball, and we thought we could run it successfully. Especially with Maurice (Drew) down, the way those two guys came in was pretty sweet.

This is a huge statement game for us -- this is Oklahoma. If we want to get noticed nationwide, we're going to have to go out and win a game like this.

I couldn't ask for anything better than to come out and play my best game of the year, ... Our receivers took 5-yard passes and made 90-yard gains out of them. Everything was clicking for us.

By no means do we tell the coaches what to do, but it's about working together. It's the relationship. We sat Coach Dorrell down and gave him ideas, and he sat us down and gave us his thoughts. It's sort of a win-win situation if you take it the right way. Guys can take it the wrong way. Coach can take it the wrong way. You have to be careful with how you do it.

He's something else. The way they run the ball, I've never seen anything like that.

I'm just frustrated, that's the biggest thing -- to go out there and put on a performance like that. It caught up with us and just started to snowball from there. Everything that went wrong, went wrong our way.

It was good to have that (running game) back the way we ran today, especially with Maurice going down. That was pretty sweet.

No, it's quiet. I think they will have a crowd there this week, though. I think it will be pretty good. We know we have to create our own energy, so we don't come out flat.

It's huge going in 9-1, ... We gained some momentum before we get a chance to play the best team in the nation.

It's by far the biggest hole I ever came out of,
