On getting ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct against West Virginia: “Obviously, I let the moment and the passion of the game get into my head and I lost control of myself. I mean, yeah, that was (West Virginia’s Anthony Wilson), the one that smoked Drake (Stoops) on that play. But I need to have better control of myself. Obviously, I got the first penalty for pushing him, and then the second one was just for running my mouth on the way off the field. That’s not who I am. But obviously it happened.”

On getting a fist bump from OU president Joe Harroz after being ejected: “I was a little stressed out until I got to that point. All the stress was lifted off my shoulders once that happened. But yeah, other than that, I do need to have better control of myself. Stuff like that doesn’t happen to me. I’m a mature football player. But yes, when that happens, obviously I did feel like I was a little bit more in the clear. But that’s not going to happen again.”

On what Stoops had to say to him after the game: “Drake didn’t even know I left the field. He walked past me in the locker room. I was like, ‘Hey dude, you’re welcome.’ He was like, ‘Why are you already dressed?’ I’ve been here for hours.”
