In the aftermath of his team’s dismantling of Oklahoma State, Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley said he was proud of the Sooners’ performance.

“I’m proud of the way we’re improving and exciting for this closing stretch,” Riley said in his opening comments in the postgame press conference on Saturday. “Wish we had 10 more games.

“This team’s fun and a lot of fun to coach, and we’re starting to play some decent football,” he said.
