On who OSU’s leader is (not who you think!) [NewsOK]

Michael Hunter: “I had never been to a bowl, so at 6-0, I dang near cried after that game. I think that’s the point where I felt like it was going to be a special season.” Good story by Kyle Fredrickson. [NewsOK]

Glenn Spencer on Kevin Peterson: “I’m really going to miss that guy. Some guys you’ll think ‘Well, I’ve got this guy coming up,’ but I’m really going to miss him.” Pete also confessed he thought about how he wished he’d gone to OU last year. [ESPN]

Doug Gottlieb calls out the OSU offensive line (which insists it is getting better). [Tulsa World]

Mike Yurcich on Ole Miss losing Robert Nkemdiche: “I don’t think you relax at all. They’re a very talented bunch with depth at that position. We’re in no position right now to be arrogant or to think we’re in an advantage situation. We’ve got to line up and fire with all cylinders, no matter who we line up against.” [Tulsa World]

A brief history of OSU running trick plays in bowl games. [CRFF]

Oh.

Spotted: Mason Rudolph being asked to take off his protective boot before boarding this flight to Dallas. Gate agents must be OU fans.
