Oklahoma Sooners 55 - Kansas State Wildcats Notes And Quotes

"Baker was strong. And you know what, it is not always just the one guy. There was better route running and better timing with getting the ball out. But Baker threw the ball really well and scrambled for some big plays. He had an excellent day." - Bob Stoops on quarterback Baker Mayfield

"I honestly was. I am not a game planner but if you saw the game last week I would have run the ball. That is what we thought they were going to do but they came out slinging it, they had the wind. I didn't get a run block until the eighth or ninth play. It was surprising but I'll take what they give us.  " - Matt Dimon on if he was surprised Kansas State didn't try to run

"You just got to catch the guys that are hanging their head about it, and tell them we have to move on we have a long season ahead of us. We are not even halfway through the season. You have to keep pushing forward you can't look back. Even though we didn't play the way that we wanted to (at Texas) we know what we are capable of. We have to go in and make some changes and that is what we did. The guy's intensity coming out, it was amazing." - Sterling Shepard on moving on after last week's loss to Texas
