Quotes from some of the Sooners offensive personnel regarding the upcoming Fiesta Bowl.

Offensive Coordinator Kevin Wilson on Boise State:
"Their team speed, as group, is real good. They took a converted corner and made him their low safety/outside backer, so they basically play with three corners in the secondary. When they go to nickel, a fourth corner comes in. So, it’s a lot of speed. Our team is a speed defensive team and with that, the size, we’re not the biggest team that walks on the field. But there’s a lot of activity and that’s the way they play. They put a lot of stress on their two corners. Those guys get locked up in man. Their used to playing lock-down defense."

Sophomore WR Malcolm Kelly on injuries:
"Everybody just kept on rolling. When one person goes down, then someone should be able to come in and step up. They might not be able to step up as good, but they can get the job done. That’s what we’ve done all year. Like with Adrian, when he went down, the backup running back came in and did good. Then he went down and the third-string running back came in, he did just as good. That’s just the mark of a great team, great coaches that can come up with a game plan that we can execute."

As Venables says about Boise RB Ian Johnson, "He’s a terrific back, really the total package – great vision, balance, strength, explosion, very patient runner. Understands schemes – where the linebackers sit and where the safties sit – and makes the right cuts. He breaks a lot of tackles. The people we’ve talked to say however fast he looks on tape, he’s a lot faster in person. He’s probably the best running back we’ll see." Stopping him will definitely be the key for the OU defense.
