Mixon described it as the turning point for Oklahoma.
“What stood out to me the most after that game was how Coach Stoops handled it,” Mixon said. “Coach Riley as well. And the talk that Zack Sanchez gave us. Was nothing but motivation from Coach Stoops. And Zack Sanchez, he got on us. Basically, that talk that he was saying was real, and he got us right. Ever since then, we’ve been able to roll with it.”(H/T The Oklahoman)
“All I remember is him yelling how horrible we played,” Mixon said. “He was just telling us we gotta get with the program. You know, jump onto the ship, and basically, that’s pretty much what we all did. We all bought in. What he said, what the coaches said, was a great job, and obviously it paid off.”

TCU Coach Gary Patterson Responds to Mayfield's Criticism

Bonnie Bernstein posted Patterson's response on her Facebook.
Just spoke with TCU coach Gary Patterson, who, while at practice for the Horned Frogs' Alamo Bowl match-up vs Oregon, called over the coach who recruited Mayfield, DC Chad Glasgow. "When did we tell Baker Mayfield he wasn't getting a scholarship?"
"First week of January," I heard Glasgow respond.
Patterson: "I like Baker Mayfield. I think he's a good kid and that's what disappoints me.
"If Baker Mayfield wants to blame TCU for 128 BCS schools not offering him a scholarship, that's fine. But ask Kliff Kingsbury why he didn't offer him a scholarship at Texas Tech. Ask about Baker's dad [James]. He's an arrogant guy who thinks he knows everything. If people knew the whole story, they might not have a great opinion of Baker or his father."
"Remember what was going on then. Casey Pachall was in alcohol rehab, we already had Trevone [Boykin], Tyler Matthews was an early commit. When we knew we were getting Casey back, there just wasn't a need. This stuff happens all the time."

“They told me they were going to offer me a scholarship and kind of drug it out,” Mayfield said of TCU. “I told other schools that I wasn't interested because I thought I was going there. I truly believed they were going to offer me because they told me that. They disappointed (me). They kind of hung me out to dry right before signing day.”
Mayfield said Patterson does not like him, but that he had “no comment about that.” The quarterback also called a columnist from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal“absolutely ignorant,” when asked about a recent article critical of him published in the newspaper. (SI.com)

When he first got hired, it wasn't like I wasn't excited about it but as soon as he got here and you started working with him, you started realizing real quick that there's something to this guy.
“I know we won't be able to hold onto him forever.” (The Oklahoman)

Peterson said the incident was unfortunate, but in his opinion not worth a one-game suspension for Beckham that is scheduled to fall on Sunday when the Giants travel to TCF Bank Stadium.
“I like both of those guys. Both of those guys are great football players in my eyes,” Peterson said. “It got physical out there and to me, the way I play, I like that. Both of them, did it kind of get out of hand maybe on one play each? Yeah. But my personal opinion, I don’t think it warranted a suspension. But that’s my one opinion.” (Star- Tribune)

“Just a mix-up… with the family paying a traffic ticket,” Stoops said. “Nothing else to talk about. It’s pretty simple. That happens to everybody.”
Oklahoma Highway Patrol ticketed Thomas for going 94 miles per hour in a 75 MPH zone July 24. In November, he was issued a bench warrant in Grady County for failure to appear for the violation. By then his fine had escalated to $321.50.
Thomas was booked into Grady County jail last Saturday. He was released Monday morning, when he plead guilty to the offense and paid the fine. (Tulsa World)
