Art Briles and his players preview the Baylor-OU game
“They are good. They didn’t wake up and just get good today; they have been good for a long time. They are very physical, very talented, and they are schemed up very well.”
On facing Landry Jones for the third straight year…
“Landry is tall, has a great arm, and works under a great system. He is a three-year starter and has won more games then anyone else in OU history. They are a rhythm team and they allow him to get the ball out of his hand very quickly. He is an exceptional quarterback, and it is kind of surprising that he stayed for this season.”
On how a win affected the team’s confidence…
“It helps a bunch without question, because you have to feel right about what is going on in order to feel right as a team. It is definitely a boost to the morale and to the confidence, and it was much needed. Our initial goal every year is to get bowl eligible. If you can count to six then you have a chance to do it. We are at four right now so we need a couple of more wins. You have to get to four before you get to five.”

On gaining confidence from beating OU last year for the first time in program history…
“We absolutely have confidence from last year. We beat them last year and it’s a good deal and we will feed off of that, but at the same time it’s a totally different year and we are a totally different team and they are a totally different team. So yeah we beat them last year, that’s great, but it’s a new year, it’s a new time and let’s write a new chapter this year.”
