“You have to beat the best to be the best,” Patterson said. “If you want to win the Big 12 title, as a general rule, it has gone through Austin and Norman. You had Oklahoma State a year ago and possibly Kansas State this year. If you want to win the conference title consistently, you have to find a way to beat those two football teams. That is the way it has been, and it will not change.” [Dallas Morning News]

"Obviously, the guys know unless we beat TCU, none of it is going to be what we want it to be at the end. This team has been talking about finishing strong since after the Oklahoma game, and I’m really proud of them," Brown said. "They’ve worked really hard so this’ll be another big step on Thursday night, but they’re only looking at continuing to win, because they know that’s the only way they can get where they want to go."
