FROM THE PC
Here are some Colt McCoy excerpts from the Monday press conference:
On how he’s feeling in the pocket: Honestly, after I watched the film, I felt like the offensive line played great. As much blitzing as Nebraska was doing I thought they handled it really well. Nebraska just had an extra guy every time coming in and we just had to adjust. Once we could get Jamaal through the line, there was no one there.
On his thoughts of the fourth quarter: I think we just got a feel of what they were doing. I know it took a long time, but they were bringing someone every play. A couple of times I audibled there at the end and kind of got him through the line.
On Oklahoma State learning from Nebraska: I wouldn’t be surprised if they take a lot of lessons from the Nebraska game. We just have to be prepared. I know Oklahoma State is a lot more aggressive as far as what they have done this season. They have blitzed a lot more than Nebraska had coming into our game.
On Oklahoma State’s pass defense: I’ve watched them on film a little bit and I know that they’re really aggressive, they fly to the football, but I think they are a little vulnerable in some areas. We just have to be prepared.
On what he feels like the pluses are going into the Oklahoma State game: I feel like a big plus for us is the confidence of the offensive line and Jamaal (Charles) and Vondrell (McGee) being able to run the ball. I think that really helped them a lot and got them pumped up and that’s a big positive for us. I think we can build off of that.
On running the zone read: I’m sure we will continue to run that more. I think it worked effectively for us. I know last week we worked on it in practice and Coach Davis wanted to run it eight or 10 times a game to help out our play action pass and our offensive line because they’re really good at blocking the zone read, and Jamaal (Charles) is really good at seeing it.
On Stillwater: It’s a really tough place to play. It’s a lot like playing at Texas Tech except the fans are right behind our bench. Everywhere you go the fans are going to be loud, especially there because they added on.
