Jedd Fisch
Jedd Fisch, Oklahoma's head coach, also spoke about what it will be like to face the Wildcats: "I have a lot of respect for coach Venables. We had dinner together the other night and I said, 'I have a lot of respect for Coach Venables. We had dinner together the other night and I said, 'How many of these head coaching jobs have you turned down? He's at the highest of the high levels of coaches. When he chose to come to Oklahoma, it was one of those programs that you want to monitor, watch and see how quickly he will put his stamp on the program. I think that's what it comes down to. It's not necessarily about always turning things around. Everyone is in a different and unique situation. What matters is what he did with his program in the way he wanted. When you take a team that, for years, under Lincoln Riley (former head coach), was going to be a points-fest kind of team. Now you look at Oklahoma, they can score points with everybody, with an offense in the top five, but they've taken the ball away 26 times this year. When you see a team that has done that, I have a lot of respect for the fact that coach Venables, in two years, has gone from six to 10 wins, adding four wins in his second year. Beyond that, it's simply the way they play. I know there's a saying: those who know, know. When you watch their movie, you know. You know that Coach Venables will be very successful because of the way his program and his culture are clearly being perceived. That presents a big challenge, because when you look at their offense and you see statistically where they were with (former offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby) and with Dillon (Gabriel), you see one of the top five offenses in the country. Now you're sitting there and trying to make a determination when you're planning the offense with a different quarterback and a different coordinator. Coach Littrell has made moves (in the past). You can go back and ask, 'At Indiana, what did he do? When he was at North Texas, what did he do? When he was at Arizona, what did he do?". At some point, you have to play fundamental soccer and believe in what you see."
Brent Venables!
Sooners head coach Brent Venables talked about what it will be like to face Arizona: "This is a team that, again, as we've said, is as good as any in college soccer right now. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for what coach Fisch and his staff have done, what his players have done. They've developed things the right way. They recruited these guys, kept them there and developed them. They went through some tough times while building their program. They can play with anyone. I think they showed that this season. We talk about it all the time. Our guys are excited to play. We have 70 scholarship players who are committed to finishing what they started. We're very excited about what we've seen. Opportunity for the 129th team in Oklahoma history to have a chance to get to 11 wins. What a blessing that is. It's been done 27 times in Oklahoma history, tied with Alabama. We had a great opportunity against a fantastic opponent, arguably one of the best matchups of the entire bowl season. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night. He's been involved with the game since he came out of his mother's womb, he's been throwing the ball ever since. He's got a great demeanor. When I was a young coach, I thought the quarterback had to be like the middle linebacker, emotional. After I coached Sam Bradford on the scout team, who later became the No. 1 pick in the draft, I quickly learned that by trying to get Sam to do what I wanted him to do, maybe his way is better."
