POST TEXAS

Our win against Texas really showed me the amount of time and energy the coaches put in into each day of practice and preparing for games.

This will be my third season at OU and my first win at Texas . When we won the Big XII championship in 2008, the players were thrilled, but not as much as our victory in the cotton bowl Saturday.

I think its the intense environment of the Red River shootout that pumps up the players and coaches over anything.

Because this is our bye week, the players and coaches are a bit laid back and relaxed more than average.

I plan on working for coaches after I graduate so its always good to get to know them. Each coaching staff is unique in their own way with their own humor, dialect, and so on.

I had to ride home with the coaches on the way home from Texas and watching them celebrate made me enjoy football a lot more this season.
