What they’re saying

The Sooners on the BCS bowl slump:
"It is a business trip. We’re not going down there to have fun. We are going down there to try and win a championship.”
Defensive end Jeremy Beal

"We’re learning how to finish. Last year we had trouble playing on the road, and this year we haven’t had that same type of trouble. We’re learning how to finish, we’re staying intense throughout the whole game. It’s something we changed from last year to this year, and we’re going to try to keep that going into this game with Florida.”
Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy

"It is a completely different team. There are new guys that haven’t been there and guys that haven’t played in those BCS games, or the past couple bowl games we have lost, that are going to contribute this year.”
Center Jon Cooper

"They’ve practiced really hard and you can tell they’re focused. Hopefully that’s what we have to do. You have to be able to play well and do the things necessary to get yourself prepared to play well.”
Coach Bob Stoops
