Behind enemy lines: Halftime adjustments made difference for Texas

Texas quarterback Colt McCoy: "We knew they were bringing a lot of zone pressure, and when they are bringing a lot of zone pressure it is hard to throw the ball. You have to be able to run the ball. We regrouped at halftime. The running backs just kept fighting and fighting."

Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis: "I felt like if we could just hang in there with the run game — sometimes it was not going to be pretty — and make them play some assignment football, then the passing game protection would get better."

Texas linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy: "A win is a win. I don't care by how many points it's by. We could have won one to two, but a win is a win."

Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp: "You have to give Oklahoma credit. They're really good on defense. We knew that coming in. They have an outstanding front. We expected this. I told the defense we had to play better than their defense."

Brown: "All of us were upset because we had not played very well, but we all knew we had a chance. We're a better second-half team than we are a first-half team."

Brown: "I thought the offense did a good job of adjusting at halftime. I liked the way we forced turnovers. I liked the way we punted the ball."

McCoy: "This was the first that we've had some quarterback draws and some counters called. We knew the throwing game wasn't going to be there as much as we thought. We just had to find a way to win."
