Steve Sarkisian on his team: “I like the focus, yet I like the looseness. I think that our guys have really approached this game with the right demeanor. I think they’re focused on the task at hand and looking forward to them going out and competing on Saturday.”

Steve Sarkisian: ”We want to play with emotion. Football is a game of emotion. Teams need to play with emotion. We just don’t want to play emotional. That’s a fine line, because when you get emotional, that’s when you start doing things out of character.”

Steve Sarkisian: “It’s easy to get caught up in the opponent. It’s easy to get caught up in the fanfare, the rivalry, the stadium — which I do. I want our guys to enjoy it, but in the end we need to focus on us and we need to be enamored with what we do.”

Steve Sarkisian on OU’s tempo: “I’d argue they’re the fastest team in the country. Oklahoma, Ole Miss, few other teams go as fast as they go. They’re at another level comparatively to what other people do.”
