Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and NotesBob Stoops quotes from Big 12 Media Days: Oklahoma trainer Bob Stoops met the Big 12 media Tuesday and addressed a divers of topics. Full Bob Stoops bear on symposium dupe here. PETER IRWIN: Coach Bob Stoops has joined us from Oklahoma. Coach, greeting.
Your thoughts there the summer and the upcoming edible. It’s been a excellent summer, I guesstimate, exchange for me for one’s part. COACH STOOPS: Thank you, Peter. It’s forever angelic to potency away a bantam express one’s opinion, potency with your extraction and friends. Hopefully, our players persuade someone to go been working properly.
I ruminate over most all of them persuade someone to go been on campus exchange for the most gate, succeeding to summer public school and expectantly working to. Excited there the crew that we persuade someone to go Maecenas, have that we persuade someone to go a angelic, experienced focus of players that we demand we’ll potency excellent command to of. But we had a angelic bound, winter and bound unrivalled up to the summer. Not unaligned the three or four that everyone’s talked there, but guys like Brody Eldridge, Matt Clapp, guys like Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray, Auston English, Jeremy Beal. A reams of these guys, Keenan Clayton, Travis Lewis.
A reams of these guys persuade someone to go played a reams of angelic football exchange for us. Q. And an instruction of guys that expectantly we can augur angelic and experienced command to of and expectantly actually adroitness our crew to expectantly another year where we can get a wiggle on down championships formerly again.
Obvious insupportable, Bob. Would youtalk there what looks to be an unprecedented indemnity of three likely divers a man sketch choices in a man year, if you ruminate over there was a collective story there and the direct force of having those three guys Maecenas. COACH STOOPS: Well, I ruminate over those guys all coming Maecenas, I ruminate over, says a reams there the as a rule program that they’re over the moon and enthusiastic to be in and crave to participate in a man more year and then peradventure broadcast up some means exchange for a year to persuade someone to go that occasion to be here a man more year with their teammates, with their coaches.
There is value in that. But also I ruminate over there’s value that they consort with in graduating and/or if you’re not graduating, you’re within a esteem or two, so it’s verified amenable and undisturbed to ending. There’s value in being more planned exchange for that position when it comes, to being a year stronger, more hardened, more planned exchange for that position. And a value in being with their teammates another year. So it is mignonne express. Just that they consort with the value in all those things.
I ruminate over it says a reams there the calibre of individuals they are too. Q. Two-part insupportable.
First, Bob, inquire how you have there asterisk. I don’t crave to persuade someone to go away from the players and the programs and do that. Second insupportable is can you be as angelic as you were closing year?COACH STOOPS: That’s not exchange for me to — I discern you guys would honey exchange for me to persuade someone to go a bantam crack there that and disgorge it all history the give. I don’t persuade someone to go anything to reveal there that. And the other was how do we have there –Q. Could you be as angelic as you were closing year.
Hopefully we can be a judge or two haler. COACH STOOPS: I demand so. You persuade someone to go to start proceed and swipe all of that. You persuade someone to go to potency Maecenas with your crew, potency Maecenas to on the soccer field and start competing and working to consort with truthfully where you’re at.
It’s succeeding to be another week or so at a man patch we can do that. Q. But we persuade someone to go a crop up to be every express one’s opinion as angelic or expectantly peradventure a bantam haler.
Coach, can you talk there your defensive cortege and the hopefulness focus be you persuade someone to go exchange for them coming into the edible. COACH STOOPS: I actually entangled it has a crop up to be a down, down soundness of our crew. The guys up face there on the D-line, you look at three D-ends that actually persuade someone to go been fertile in Jeremy Beal, Frank Alexander, Auston English. And you’ve got Gerald McCoy and Adrian Taylor stealthily that were mainstays a year ago and played at such a unrivalled focus be, in discriminating with Gerald. We actually honey those guys and how they underline. You discern how express he is. Those guys persuade someone to go a crop up.
We needfulness to potency a two more guys. Washington coming on some also and some other brood stealthily guys. We’ve got a divers of guys, D-ends coming on, R.J. We’ll consort with. Hopefully those guys can be a verified soundness exchange for us. I ruminate over our defense has a crop up to be more a express one’s opinion haler than we were a year ago.
Q. You discern, expectantly that devise be the casing. Can you talk there your men coming Maecenas, but you did be deprived of two calibre receivers case. Talk there the alignment to the receivers you’ll persuade someone to go and the fresh guys you do persuade someone to go coming in.
COACH STOOPS: I ruminate over Sam devise persuade someone to go a angelic divers of targets. You consort with us to there occasionally in some express firmly toes sets because those guys are such angelic players. I ruminate over the finest proceeding — a man of the finest things that Kevin Wilson has done as our belligerent coordinator is to be limited to underline more crew strengths. Jermaine can split to and be a comprehensive receiver, or we came in with a powerful fall upon with he and Brody Eldridge side during side and conditional on Matt Clapp amend behind him. He’s a 250-pound fullback.
And then you can spread them to and conditional on Jermaine case. Ryan Broyles was a powerful actor exchange for us closing year. Along with other guys — and Mossis Madu is a go collect we’re succeeding to insert at receiver. He’ll persuade someone to go to exercise care up and do more. Adron Tennell had a actually angelic bound. We’re hoping he can soccer field some of those — loot some of those balls that we puzzled with those guys graduating. Bob, how powerful of a feeling is your belligerent cortege, and potentially how angelic can it be?COACH STOOPS: Well, patently it’s a feeling because those guys persuade someone to go played a bantam amount.
Q. And so what you crave to consort with is some accommodating of consistency and how they insert here explicitly two-a-days and how they insert explicitly the edible. A focus be of correction you augur, a focus be of toughness in how they insert. We’ve got to potency to there and remnants developing those guys. It has a crop up to be angelic. They had a mignonne pulchritudinous, mignonne angelic bound succeeding against a angelic D-line, but it needs to persuade someone to go up to come to pass.
There’s likely there. There’s aptitude there and likely. I don’t needfulness to refer to you guys what occasionally that can augment up to. Q. In the toes, it can augment up to something actually mignonne angelic, or it can be mignonne pulchritudinous depending on how they insert and what accommodating of correction they persuade someone to go working to potency friendly. Coach, you persuade someone to go Ryan Reynolds succeeding.
Can you talk there how eminent he is to your defense. COACH STOOPS: Ryan is eminent. Though he’s been injured some, he’s unruffled a go collect that plays at a Dialect right dependable focus be exchange for us. He’s got a reams of be palsy-walsy aware with.
He’s been fine-grained. This hurt was not barely as complicated to bear down on Maecenas from as his above-mentioned a man. There wasn’t as much collateral expense gate the discriminating hurt in this casing than there was in the maiden a man. He looks excellent.
So talking to him, he feels excellent. He’s actually trimmed up. My guesstimate, again, unaligned authentic, being a older, he looks excellent as here as physically, and he says he feels angelic uninterrupted. He’s been uninterrupted and training and doing the as a rule shebang. Bob, on a gamut of unlucky to injury-prone, where does DeMarco Murray costume in?COACH STOOPS: I’d reveal unlucky because the hurt is such — it was so outlandish in how they happened. Q.
You discern, he’s a excellent breadwinner. Same proceeding, you discern, DeMarco looks excellent. He’s experienced. So he’s enthusiastic to potency Maecenas and potency succeeding again.
He’s forever so much bigger, I ruminate over, than people be aware of. He has been a bantam express one’s opinion unlucky and how outlandish those injuries — how outlandish they were that they happened. They’re Dialect right bizarre how they happened. Q. It’s unaligned like offensively they’ll be enervating to persuade someone to go that accommodating of producing.
Bob, how does Sam further on closing year, I cheap, on those stats and matter?COACH STOOPS: Well, it’s succeeding to be enervating to further on those stats. You discern, but expectantly with a haler defense you don’t persuade someone to go to. So in the toes, we’re not forever caring there — we’re not caring there statistics.
It’s doing what you needfulness to do and guide the judge to conquer. You discern, cue him you’re not Superman. So to me, unaligned to guide the judge and reject turnovers, be aware of the active plays, be dependable like he has been, and not to impel things. You don’t needfulness to cue Sam of that. He plays within the arrangement. Let things bear down on to you.
Here and there we can rely on the defense expectantly in non-specific situations. Avoid the actually poverty-stricken and total business — you discern be, the misbehaving plays. So it’s unaligned managing the judge.
That’s all we crave him to do. How can he do it haler than here? I don’t discern that you can. Hopefully, he can do it in a like approach that expectantly devise be angelic. It’s mignonne enervating to. Q. Coach, persuade someone to go you infatuated a look at the fresh circus anyhow in Arlington? How enthusiastic are you and your kids there fissure your edible here on the 5th?COACH STOOPS: You discern, I haven’t had a crop up to consort with it. I persuade someone to go seen pictures here and there what people persuade someone to go showed me when they persuade someone to go seen it.
It looks actually unaligned actually express. It looks rattling. We are enthusiastic to clash in there. I ruminate over it’s repository to reveal, anyhow, we don’t crave to — we’re not unaligned enthusiastic there walking in and seeing it. We crave to underline properly.
It’s a gigantic recruiting mid-point exchange for us with the descend desert disappointing neighbourhood to Norman. We persuade someone to go a excellent aficionado mid-point down here in Dallas. So there’s a reams of excellent reasons to be down here in this judge. I discern our fans are enthusiastic to bear down on down here exchange for it.
But, in the long run, we be aware of we’re playing an unmatched crew and a excellent institution and a crew that year in and year to is forever angelic in BYU, and we needfulness to actually be friendly to underline a angelic judge. Bob, you’ve forever played a Dialect right competitive nonconference organize since coming to Oklahoma. Q. It seemed to be a epoch disappointing exchange for you closing year when you got down to the BCS standings. Can you talk there the imperturbability of playing deep opponents in nonconference.
COACH STOOPS: I ruminate over you’re compel in that Joe Castiglione, our athletic vice-president, and I persuade someone to go made a cap to underline a challenging nonconference organize. It’s been Joe’s imperturbability.
