Watch: Mike Gundy Discusses 41-34 Win Over No. 20 Texas

STILLWATER – No. 11 Oklahoma State scored 17-unanswered points in the second half to beat No. 20 Texas 41-34 on Homecoming.

Head coach Mike Gundy met with the media following the game to discuss the win.

“Alright that was a little more fun at the end. Great college environment, the homecoming crowd, the sound, the students, can’t get a better environment than that. It’s a big-time college football environment with two really good teams playing. Had a heck of a game. I was really proud of our guy’s defense adjustments at half time, our staff and our players. How they were able to slow it down a little bit, tackle a little bit better, made adjustments on the counter play, and cover pretty good. I think we ended the game with six freshmen playing on defense there towards the end. I know at kick off we had nine guys running down the field that had never played college football basically. So, we had a lot of guys that were banged up, nicked up, and we had to put some other guys into play. It is what it is and I’m proud of them, they did good. The coaches coached well, the players made plays in the end, made good calls in the end, defense made stops in the end, players made plays and they ended up being good. We had a 119-yard advantage in penalties. They had 14-for-119 and we had 0-for-0 so there’s the difference in the game. They have good special teams, I’m a special teams guy. We had a missed block, they blocked a punt on us, and we knew returns were going to be tough. Time or two they got us; we probably should’ve tackled a little better. They’ve been a really good third down team and we held them to 3-of-17 on third downs, which was good. We were 45% on third downs ourselves which has been good for us. So, I was really proud of our guys, it’s a great win for them. Looking forward to them enjoying it tonight then we’ll get back to work tomorrow and get ready for the next one.”
