Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy met with reporters during Monday's press conference in Stillwater. Excerpts from Gundy's comments:
On losing 24-23 at Texas A&M after leading 17-0 at halftime and 20-10 entering the fourth period: "I felt a lot better -- once I got finished puking and crying and all that stuff -- than I did when I came home from Troy. I felt a lot better about our football team. I felt better about the way our defense is playing."
More on the A&M loss: "We made mistakes that contributed to them coming back. The truth is, if Dantrell (Savage) doesn't put the ball on the ground and we don't have a (busted play) on the six-inch line, we're probably not talking about (a loss) today. There were some things that came out of that game that were positive. We played the best game that we've had this year defensively. Offensively, up until we had those (second-half) errors, we played pretty good."
On Cowboy freshman tailback Kendall Hunter, who ranks third in the Big 12 in rushing at 88.2 yards per game: "I wouldn't trade him. He's a good player. Any true freshman who competes at a substantial or high level in (the Big 12), it surprises me. He loves to play football. He's durable and tough."
On this week's
challenge of playing defense against Nebraska QB Sam Keller, who has passed for 1,720 yards and completes 64 percent of his passes: "He can move around. I don't think he's going to take off like Michael Vick, but he can move around and make some plays."
