1 OU POSTGAME QUOTES HEAD COACH LINCOLN RILEY OKLAHOMA 28 ARMY WEST POINT 21 (OT) SEPT. 22, 2018 OKLAHOMA HEAD COACH LINCOLN RILEY Opening statement: Tough win tonight, but a win nonetheless. The first thing I want to say is how appreciative I am of our home crowd. I would say it was an electric atmosphere. There was some built up frustration with three early kicks in a row, so the crowd was great and definitely had an impact on the game. I thought our team fed off the crowd and the crowd fed off the team, especially there at the end. That might be as loud as I ve heard it here, so very, very appreciative of a great, great home crowd. It was a tough game like we knew it would be. The negative you can look back and say we had some opportunities to really separate in the game that we didn t do it. The drive before half, a couple of thirdand-longs and fourth-and-longs that they weren t able to convert offensively and we got the ball back, up seven right after the third quarter and then threw an interception on the second play. We didn t get a fourthand-one and didn t make the field goal at the end of regulation, so we had our chances to separate and it wasn t our best performance. Give Army a ton of credit those guys played hard, they executed. As well as they ran the option, they didn t put the ball on the ground one time the entire day, which is hard to do with all they re doing. Give those guys credit. They re really well-coached and played the whole football game. Give our guys a lot of credit, too. Especially with the way regulation ended. A lot of teams would ve been down after that and we weren t. Our guys have really taken a lot of pride in red zone and overtime situations. We got the team up right there before overtime and reminded them that they d done all that work and that it was getting ready to pay off, and it did. We played all three sides of the ball. Offensively, scoring, then Seibert knocking the offensive point through and then defensively, they were absolutely tremendous there. Proud of the win, proud of some great individual efforts. Kenneth Murray had 28 tackles the school record here, which, we ve been playing football for a long time here and playing against option teams for a long time. A lot of history of that, so that 28 tackles in a game. And then Curtis Bolton had 23, which is remarkable that may be the highest two-person total ever. The other might the 47-play differential. We had 40 we had a lot of big plays offensively and some shorter drives, and they had 87, so it was kind of a strange game. They had 21 third downs and we had three offensively, so it was a weird game, but our guys found a way to win. Our crowd helped push us on to that. Really happy to get through the nonconference (schedule) at 3-0 again. That was a big goal for us to get that and we re looking forward to Big 12 play. On what he learned about his team: They just kept fighting. Even when we didn t have our best stuff, a few things didn t go our way, a few plays we didn t make that we normally make in our sleep I just think our guys weren t going to get beat tonight. We re learning we re winning football games, our youth still shows sometimes. That s got to continue to grow and get better. We re going to face a lot of new challenges going forward but there s a fight about this team. I feel like we re close to being able to really separate from some of these good teams and we re going to have to do that as we get into Big 12 play. On Army s ability to convert on third down: It was a challenge we knew was going to happen. We knew it was going to be that way at some point. Their success rate they re good at what they do in converting third-and-shorts. They don t get stopped by anybody there. The biggest negative was some of the long yardage - third downs and fourth downs that we didn t convert defensively. We knew there were going to be some frustrations on both sides. The pace of the game is different from what these guys are used to. We talked about it and I really think these kids bought into that. A couple times, we lost our poise a little bit we had that personal foul down there on defensively and then a busted assignment right after that. Kyler (Murray) had the one (interception) but other than that, played extremely clean throughout the day but had the one throw that I thought was just pressing and eager to go make a play, but our guys hung in there. They trusted that it was going to be a challenge and we knew if we didn t we know there s a couple plays in that game that if you don t make, it s going to be a close game

2 OU POSTGAME QUOTES HEAD COACH LINCOLN RILEY OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 (OT) SEPT. 22, 2018 against them. That s just the way it is, and those couple plays that we had a chance to separate and didn t do it, but they fought and hung in there. On Austin Seibert s missed field goal at the end of regulation: I was surprised he missed it, but he ll make the next one. I knew he had full confidence obviously centering the ball and getting it to the spot he wanted it. I had full confidence in him, (holder Connor McGinnis) and our entire offensive line to protect him. I had full confidence he was going to make it. If I m ever in the same situation again, I ll probably do exactly the same thing. On how Army s clock strategy impacted OU s play calling: I really felt like we needed to extend the game and do anything we could. I think you can get too caught up in playing the clock game. The most important thing, offensively against them, is to score. You ve got to score, and we felt like when we extended the game, that was going to play into our hands. We just really tried to do the things that we thought would help us score. At times we went fast, at times, we didn t go fast. We milked plenty of clock on that last drive in regulation. It didn t play into our decision making. On his team s defensive performance: I thought they did a pretty good job. If you went back and looked at all the third and fourth downs, you d love to have a couple more that were long and medium as opposed to third-and-short because they re just so prolific there. And the second on one of the short yardages you take a chance there, they feast on that. That s when they hit the big play on you. I thought we did a really nice job controlling their pass game. That s something they came in was a really big deal for them is throwing the ball. I thought our DBs were really disciplined the majority of the night. Once we got settled in, we gave up a few here and there, but I thought our guys did really good stuff against them, especially late in the first half.

3 OU POSTGAME QUOTES DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR MIKE STOOPS OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 (OT) SEPT. 22, 2018 DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR MIKE STOOPS On the uniqueness of facing Army: Well, it was difficult. I guess it was only 2 hours 45 minutes. It was a short game. Really tough night just to get them in manageable situations. The third downs we knew the third and shorts were always going to be tough. Some of the third downs we didn t play as well, but Army s a great team. They run that thing extremely well. They ve got a little bit of movement inside on the dive and the belly play. They just kind of kept hitting it for three and four (yards), and it gets them into a fourth down So, it s tough They re a terrific football team. They fight extremely hard, and I think that shows we re in pretty good hands living in the United States. They re very courageous, and they re not scared of anything, and they played that way tonight. Just frustrating we couldn t get more stops to get the ball. They hold the ball for 45 minutes. They ve been averaging 40. Those extra five minutes mean critical possessions for our offense. That s probably the most frustrating point of it all just not getting enough possessions for our offense. On getting frustrated on third and fourth downs: It s hard. It s frustrating, but I m proud of the guys. They got the stops when we needed them. I mean, we needed them down the stretch, and we got them again. Everybody is going to have their own opinions. I don t know. We ve got to continue to progress. It s hard to tell in this game, but again, we won again. We re moving on, and you could be a lot of other places where they didn t play nearly that good and lost. Is that not right? So, you can look at it however you want... We ve got to play better. We will play better. I love this team. We re courageous too. I couldn t be more proud of these guys to fight through this [I m] happy that we were able to pull it off at the end and come up with the stops when we needed them. On preparing Kenneth Murray and Curtis Bolton for a big game: It s extremely difficult. You can t simulate the speed, the precision that they (Army) do it. Our guys are big, 330-pound guys trying to come off low, rip through gaps. It s just not what our team is built to do. Even our demos. You re showing them plays. Where to fit it, but there s nothing. I thought our players reacted a little bit better as the game went on. We got them behind the chains a little bit more. The third-and-longs we got stuck in a couple when we needed to get off the field at that time. That was the disappointing part of it all. We started getting them in longer situations and let them off the hook a couple times. On the sequence of good plays in the fourth quarter: Well, I think we got them behind the chains again. I think it was second-and-11 then third-and-eight or nine, so we got them behind. That s the key to playing this team. First and 10 is so critical to your success. I thought we gave up three, four and five-yard gains on first down. I thought they worked the inside of our defense. We don t have the biggest guys, but they got some movement and got some pushing. If they get it second and six, you re behind. You get it second and nine, second and 10, you re ahead. On the defense being tired after this game: Well, I think so. They ll be tired. Kenneth [Murray] and [Curtis Bolton] had 51 tackles, something ridiculous. So yeah, they ll be tired. We re at home next week. We ll get back and get back to doing what we do defensively, installing some new stuff. I think they ll be happy to have this win and have it behind us. I think it was weighing on everybody s mind. As much as you try to prepare for it, you can t prepare for what these guys do because they re so good at it. Give Army an unbelievable amount of respect. I do. They fought their butts off today like I knew they would. That s why we knew it was going to be difficult. On getting the defense a break before Baylor: No, we ve got two huge games before we get a bye. I think that s when it ll come. We ve got to keep fighting. Our guys are playing a lot of snaps. We re losing depth. Tyreece Lott has not been there. We need to get our guys back. [Marquise] Overton. We haven t had a lot of guys. Our guys have played a lot of snaps inside. I don t know what we played snaps? So that s a lot again. Eventually it s going to take its toll, but we ve got to start developing some of these younger guys and get them some snaps.

4 OU POSTGAME QUOTES PLAYER QUOTES OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 SEPT. 22, 2018 JUNIOR DEFENSIVE END AMANI BLEDSOE: On the game: Definitely a slug fest. I think the coaches do a good job preparing us for this. We go through all fall camp and run through overtime situations and I think we handled it pretty well at the end. On the overtime win: I think adversity is good for any team and every team needs it at some point during the season so we don t get to the end of season and be shocked. But a good team win and a great win overall. On Lincoln s overtime message: Keep trusting your job and keep swinging. Nobody said it was going to be an easy game. Army is a great team and a great offense. It s like I said, he s (Lincoln) has prepared us great for this in fall camp with lots of two-minute overtime situations going back and forth, offensively and defensively, we were prepared. On Kenneth Mann s interception: It lit a spark throughout the whole defense. The energy was big for us tonight because the other side of the ball doesn t like seeing all that energy and we just wanted to capitalize that. It was pretty good for the team. REDSHIRT SENIOR LINEBACKER CURTIS BOLTON On the pressure on the linebacker position: Mann (Kenneth) and I kind of talked about it all week. We knew that it was going to be a slug fest. We knew we were going to come in and it was going to be a boxing match I like to think of myself as a tough guy and Kenneth does the same so we were not going to let anyone come out there and roll over us. We were just trying to get down the field and the plays were just coming to us. On playing a triple option team: The last time I played a triple option team they were terrible. This Army team is tough. You can say what you want, the triple option is a little outdated but at the end of the day those guys are trying to win a football game. They did a good job and almost came out on top. They played a heck of a football game and I am glad that we came out with the win. On the frustration of the long drives: You always want to get off the field. You want your offense to have to ball as much as they can so when you have a team like that that is just digging and grinding three yards, four yards you have to get stops on first and second downs. When that was not happening it is just so tough It is just rough and gets really frustrating. At the end of the day we were just trying to get our guys out there and just keep swinging. That was our message the whole game. They go four quarters and they come out and run the same thing four quarters. But we got them backed up and a few negative plays at the end and got them doing stuff that they are not comfortable doing and you see the results. SOPHOMORE TIGHT END GRANT CALCATERRA: On the final few plays of the game: It was without a doubt one of the weirdest games that I have played. Going out and us having fast drives then sitting on the sidelines for about 15 minutes. It was nerve racking. They have a great offense and they execute well so seeing them go down the field inch-by-inch was tough. The offense knew that we needed to respond and that is what we did. Getting the win is what we came here to do, so we are happy with our result. On getting out of the offensive flow: It s nothing that really they did. I think that we just had a few mistakes here and there. These mistakes kind of set us back a little bit. We will get in the film room and see what those mistakes were and make some improvements. On offensive execution with limited possessions: Yeah it was. All week we had talked about how we were going to have limited opportunities. We had six possessions the whole game. All week we talked about how important it is for us to capitalize on our possessions. For the most part we did but we need to go in and see what we did wrong and improve for next week.

5 OU POSTGAME QUOTES PLAYER QUOTES OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 SEPT. 22, 2018 JUNIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN NEVILLE GALLIMORE On how this game was different from others: Oh, man. That s probably the toughest game I ve ever played. I ve never played a team like that, the schemes that they had was tough, and I don t care what anybody says, a team like Army, to win against them in the situation we were in, that was big. Definitely shout out to them for the stuff that they re doing, not only on the field but off the field. It was a well-fought game. We were hungry. We just played hard as we could, showed maximum effort, and that s all that matters. It s really a mental thing, so to pull this off was a well-deserved win. On how preparation was different: It is different, and like I said, coaches harped on it the whole week: it s a different kind of ball game. It s going to take a lot more mentality. They even said, This is something you re going to have to get used to as the game goes on. Even as good as our scout was, getting the looks we needed, it s different when you re on the field. Like I said, I m just happy we didn t lose our focus. We all leaned on each other and were able to pull off the win. On the emotional effect of the game: It s a little hectic, but that s the kind of game where you have to keep your composure. You have to lean on your brothers. You have to put all your trust on the guys next to you. You trust they re going to do their job. Definitely the emotions were running high. You knew it was going to be a tough game. Army was going to be a tough matchup. The scheme of it they re so disciplined, they do it so well, so we were just able to match their energy and finish it off. On being fatigued late in the game: This is one of those games that you live for. It really tests to see your passion, where your heart s at. There are many opportunities where we could have folded, hung our hats, but that s not what happened. The thing I love about our coaches, they d told us well before, so we were prepared. We saw it in the spring, we went through it in fall camp, a whole bunch of situations where we had to simulate overtime, focus, lock in, so the thing I loved is that when the opportunity presented itself, we were ready. SOPHOMORE WIDE RECEIVER CEEDEE LAMB On the mindset of overtime: Just to keep our composure and play our game, do things that we got and use every player that we have, make sure everybody gets their win and push. On being the go-to guy: I honestly do everything I can to help the team win and I feel like we were keen on Marquise (Brown) because of the week he had last week, and he did a great job with drawing their defense and it was the right thing for me, and Kyler (Murray) saw that. On Kyler s leadership role: He really stepped up when we needed him. He s always been one of those people we depend on, he has all the answers. When we have questions, he s there to answer them. He s very composed and very into the game. He knows what he has to do. SOPHOMORE LINEBACKER KENNETH MURRAY On Army s toughness: They re a tough team. That type of offense is a tough offense to play, and those guys are in the military, so their mindset is a tough mindset. You have to match that mindset. I was proud of the way the team fought, and we came out with the W so I m happy with that. On whether he anticipated breaking the school tackle record tonight: Yeah I did. I told probably ten of my teammates that I was going to break it this week. I told them, I was praying to God about it, you know, me and Buzzy (Curtis Bolton) are always competing, trying to see who s going to make the most plays, I was saying I m going to get it, No I m going to get it, so it s always fun with games like that. Definitely it s something I prayed about. The opportunity s here, we re going to make plays.

6 OU POSTGAME QUOTES PLAYER QUOTES OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 SEPT. 22, 2018 On the difference of play between Army running 87 snaps as opposed to a Big 12 team: For sure, it was a physical war in the trenches. Every play was a war in the trenches. This is what we knew it was going to be, we knew it was going to be a war in the trenches. At the end of the day we had to come down and make plays. We knew that we had to ball, the D-line had to keep the backs free, the backs had to set the line of scrimmage and make plays. We did a wonderful job of fighting tonight, and I m glad we got that W. REDSHIRT JUNIOR QUARTERBACK KYLER MURRAY On the limited offensive possessions: We knew what kind of game it was going to be going into this and playing Army. It is really frustrating being the offense and having to watch the defense play all night. The defense did a great job and they persevered. But like I said, it is frustrating, and you have to make the most out of the possessions. I think that we did that the first half then the defense came out in the second half and did their job but unfortunately, I turned the ball over. I am just glad we got the win at the end of the day. On the pressure of being perfect on every possession resulting in the interception: I was trying to create separation as far as score goes, same thing as last week. We had an opportunity to come out and leave the opponent and tonight we really didn t. Like I said that is a good team and a hard fought game and we have been in these situations a million times but to go into overtime and get the win was pretty special. As far as pressing goes, you can press in those situations but as far as taking care of the ball in those situations is important. On the game going by fast with limited possessions: They do a good job on offense. I don t know how you prepare for that. It is almost like it is not really football, full back drive, option right and option left, it is tough. But when you are sitting there and they are driving the whole length of the field, they have taken off ten minutes and you are just sitting over there waiting to get the ball back it is definitely tough. On feeling fresh after limited playing time: Yeah, I was not tired at all. We only had the ball like 15:00 or something like that and it felt like 4:00. On the mindset going into overtime and missing the field goal: You could have hung our heads and that would have affected us, but in that moment you cannot do that in that moment. We stayed locked in. Coach Riley called us all in and told us we have worked that situation many of times and I think that showed. We got the win and I am really proud of the guys. It was a good win. SOPHOMORE RUNNING BACK TREY SERMON On the game: It was amazing; just the atmosphere as a whole, it was electric. The crowd was amping us up. The offense and defense was just working together. On overtime: It was really good. Our coaches prepped us for this moment in our camp. We worked a lot of two-minute overtimes in the red zone. I feel like we were very prepared for it. On an unbeaten non-conference schedule: It was very important, knowing the type of team we were going up against. We had no other choice but to really show how we play to get the win. On leading the team in rushing: I felt like I needed to establish dominance in the run game each and every week. We have a lot of other running backs, but as far as me being a leader, I knew I needed to step up and do it. I appreciate them getting me the ball. You never know how many opportunities you have, and I just tried to make the most of it. REDSHIRT JUNIOR DEFENSIVE LINE KENNETH MANN On defense being on the field a lot: Glad to get through. I m glad we won, that s really what the biggest part was. It was a hard-fought battle; those guys are a great team. You know, I m glad I was on the right end of it. On his interception: I was in the right place at the right time. The ball popped up. You know, anybody should have caught that. I was glad I made that play for my guys.

7 ARMY POSTGAME QUOTES HEAD COACH JEFF MONKEN OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 (OT) SEPT. 22, 2018 ARMY HEAD COACH JEFF MONKEN Opening statement: What a football game, and congratulations to Oklahoma. That s an unbelievable football team and program. I read the press release before the game and marveled at the success that the Oklahoma program has had over decades. I read that they ve won 11 Big 12 Championships in the last 19 years, and in that same stretch they ve lost 10 home games. That s an incredible statistic to me. To be a part of a football team come in here tonight and about pull off a victory against a great football program I m just incredibly proud to be a part of this team and I m proud of our players. It s just a privilege to be a part of a group of people like that who care so much about each other and have such a commitment to each other. It s fun to be a part of something like that, and that s what makes it even more disappointing to lose because our guys fought so hard and gutted it out. I m sure there were very few people who gave our guys a chance, but we had a chance to win the football game. Credit to Oklahoma, they made some great plays and they ve got some unbelievable players. Their quarterback, (Kyler) Murray, is an amazing player and he made some plays with his feet and arm. We found ourselves out of position a couple times and they made some big plays. That s the story of the game. But, to have a goal line stop like we did down at the one-yard line, I don t know the last time that s happened to an Oklahoma team. For our guys to make that stop is incredible, so nothing but respect for our guys for the way we played. On if they would have go for two in overtime: We would ve gone for two. I just think in this environment, and to be coming from behind the whole game, we would ve given it a whirl. On how they limited Oklahoma s high-powered offense: Just hold the ball I think that s our philosophy to try and maintain possession of the ball. We were able to do that and sustain some drives, but unfortunately we had a couple times where we had a chance to get some points and didn t. For them, they played a defense that they haven t played all year and that s not what we practiced against all week. We were surprised that they came out in that defense because that s the defense that our defense runs. We got a lot of reps banked against a 3-4 defense and I think that s why our guys were able to execute and do that effectively enough. On sustaining long, 16-plus play drives: I think that s a byproduct of the offense. People don t face this offense very often, and you can prepare for it, but frankly it s just a bugger sometimes to defend. It s not easy for us, and we run the offense all spring and fall. It s not easy for our defense to transition and play one of the option teams. I think our guys did a really good job of blocking them up front and moving them, which isn t easy to do because they re big inside. That got the fullback going. And we had some toss plays where we d knock them down or at least shielded to get some plays on the perimeter and mixing those in. I thought (offensive coordinator) Brent (Davis) called a great game and he had a terrific plan going in. It speaks to the resiliency of this group. They didn t flinch, they went out there and executed against a different defense that we practiced against all week and we executed well against a really good team. On the maturity of Kelvin Hopkins, Jr. at quarterback: That kid just played the fourth college football game of his career against the No. 5 team in the country, and he didn t back down. He played with a lot of poise. On trying to contain Kyler Murray: We think he s incredibly skilled. The run he had down our sideline for the touchdown was a great run. That kid is a terrific player and an unbelievable athlete. I don t know if we contained him really. We made some plays, but he made a bunch of plays.

8 ARMY WEST POINT POSTGAME QUOTES VISITING PLAYER QUOTES OKLAHOMA 28, ARMY WEST POINT 21 (OT) SEPT. 22, 2018 JUNIOR QUARTERBACK KELVIN HOPKINS, JR. On the chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter: We were just trying to execute. Oklahoma had a great team, a great game plan and was really aggressive. They are the No. 5 team in the country and really good, they just got the best of us. That play we just couldn t make it happen, so credit to them they executed perfectly on that play. It was the right call against the right play, so there was not really much we could do about it. On the loss: Every loss is tough. It hurts right now, but our job is to comeback in here tomorrow and find out what we can do better to get another win next and that is what we are going to do. Like I said it hurts but we can t dwell on it too long. We have a great team in Buffalo next week and we just have to be ready to come back tomorrow, focused and ready to get after it. JUNIOR DEFENSIVE BACK ELIJAH RILEY On his view of tonight s game: Mike Reynolds interception coming out in the second half, it was a big momentum turner. Early on we struggled a little bit, but we had a great game plan. The D-line did a great job getting to the quarterback and the secondary did a good job getting in the right spots at the right time. At Oklahoma, they have some good wideouts, they have a great quarterback. They just executed better than we did in some instances. We had some simple errors in coverage, but we just have to correct that going forward. JUNIOR RUNNING BACK KELL WALKER On making yardage against Oklahoma: We had a game plan coming into this game. Oklahoma came out with a 50 defense, which we run a lot in practice. It is our run defense. Our O-Line did a great job blocking up front and our slots, wideout did a good job blocking out on the perimeter. That is how we were able to get outside, and I am just glad that the coaches trust. On the offensive line: The offensive line was great tonight. They were moving the line of scrimmage, aggressive, flying off the ball. That is an awesome group of guys. They want the game to be on their shoulders. We come to the sideline and they are like what do we want to run? They want the ball going right behind them. They were up for the challenge all the week, they knew that Oklahoma was going to be a great team; we all knew that. They really pride themselves on going out there and being tough, coming off fast, and being aggressive and I think that is exactly what they did. Bryce (Holland) is a great leader for that group, Jaxson Deaton, and JB Hunter (IV) they are great guys and were really up for the challenge and accepted it tonight.
