Notable Quotes
"Another night in the Big 12. We figured out a way to win. Obviously we didn't play our best, made a lot of mistakes, but winning's hard and you have to figure out a way to get the job done when you don't have your best stuff, if you will. You move on and you try to get better tomorrow and that's what you do." - Mike Boynton after his team’s win against TCU.
"They turned the game into a street fight. And we're willing and able and capable and more than excited to be in a street fight." - Chris Beard after their loss against KSU.
