Texas Tech Post-Game Quotes
Coach Mike Leach
" We played well on all three sides. We were rising in key situations, but we could have been more consistent."
" We tended to relax when we got the lead."
"There was tremendous play by Mickey (Peters) and Kliff (Kingsbury). They were getting the momentum and turned the play into a touchdown."
"The defense performed well, they hit hard, which is what we needed. The defense played well throughout. They prevented Oklahoma State from using weapons we know they have. Oklahoma State is a great team. I don't think any different about that after today's game."
"We had a good defense today as a whole."
Tight End Mickey Peters
On the touchdown pass
"Kliff saw me, I almost slipped, but I made myself pause for a second, and I caught the ball. It was a great throw by Kliff."
On the win
"It was a great win, but we have two games left. We have to put this game behind us and focus on the game against Texas. We have to go into Texas fighting hard."
On the third quarter
"We had to go down and score. The offensive line did a good job protecting Kliff. So, all we needed to do was run down the field, catch the pass, and score."
Carlos Francis, Receiver
Receiver blocking abilities
"We take pride in our abilities a lot. There are a lot of receivers who can catch balls, but not a lot who can catch and block."
On bowl eligibility
"This was big win. We thought OSU was ready to come take one from us. We stepped up to the challenge."
"It is good to be bowl eligible, but now we have to buckle down for Texas. I want Texas, and this year, they have to come to Lubbock."
Lamont Anderson, Defensive Line
"We felt good about the way we played. All in all, we are happy to be bowl eligible."
On Tatum's Run
"In that situation, you have to suck it up and make plays. It was a sudden change. If we can deal with that, then I think we will be okay for the next two games."
On Josh Rangel
"The kid plays lights out every time he gets in the game. I am glad he came up with some big plays."
