Head Coach Kevin Sumlin

“Without a doubt, we are the most stable combination of stability and winning program in the state of Texas.”

Defensive Coordinator John Chavis

“We gotta tackle better, there’s no question about that.”

Offensive Coordinator Noel Mazzone

“It’s a bowl game. It should be fun, it should be a reward to your players and your program.”

Defensive End Myles Garrett

I can only fight for what I know, what I’ve been through. We’ve been in the SEC the whole time, so let’s see what the Big 12 has.”

Quarterback Trevor Knight

“This whole year has been a blessing for me. Taking a leap of faith and leaving a place that I loved, quite frankly, and coming down with nothing promised to me. But everything’s just fallen into place. I got to play a whole bunch of football and have a whole lot of fun and make a whole lot of memories, but also got to be around a bunch of incredible people that have made this experience worthwhile.”

Wide Receiver Christian Kirk

“I think it’s very important, especially going into next season, and that’s what this game pretty much is. It’s the start of next season.”
