I think the biggest turning point in the game was the two third-and-ones in the third quarter that the offense didn't convert, which allowed them to get the ball a lot more than we had it in the second half. We have got to convert those.
More Quotes from Bobby Petrino:
It was good to get our first Big East victory, ... I was proud of our players the way they came back. It was a very difficult week for all of us, but we did work extremely hard and we got some extremely good leadership. It wasn't easy we didn't execute on all cylinders, but our players certainly played with great effort, really stuck together and had a lot of energy and enthusiasm.Bobby Petrino
We have another challenging schedule that our players, coaches and fans will enjoy. We play at Kansas State for the first time and we have Kentucky, Miami and West Virginia at home for our fans. It's going to be a tough schedule, but I know our players will be excited about what's in front of them.

I've always liked the way George runs the ball, ... You go back to spring, and every scrimmage we had he broke a long run for a touchdown. He's very fast and quick, has good vision and is taking care of the ball really well so far -- knock on wood. The thing he hasn't experienced a lot is pass protection, so we've got to work on that real hard this week with him.

Hunter got hit hard. He's a very courageous young man. You can't say enough about what he left on the field. I'm sure he's never been hit that hard before, but he hung in there and tried to do the best he could do. He had us in a position where we could win the game. We just made some mistakes late.

All year long, everyone's been talking not the players and the coaches but they've been hearing all year long words like 'undefeated' and 'run the table,' ... What we need to do is focus on beating Cincinnati, and that's it.

Everybody would like to see that. Oregon State plays very aggressive on defense. They try to get eight or nine guys down to stop the run and play really tight press coverage with their corners. What they try to do is get a pass rush and put a clock on the quarterback, and they're very good at that. They have three new starters in the secondary. Everyone has been waiting for the ball to go downfield and we're definitely going to have to do that in this game and make some big plays.
