Stoops says that Jordan Evans was defensive player of the game. No surprise after Evans was named Big 12 defensive player of the week.

Stoops says Matt Romar is hopeful to play this week against WVU. DE Matt Dimon will not be back this year or next year for that matter.

Stoops says reason for Dimon hanging it up is because of many different reasons. Not specifically because of injuries.

Stoops is asked to compare Dede Westbrook to former WVU WR Tavon Austin. Says they have similar body type and great speed.

Stoops says if they didn't have the 2 RBs (Perine and Mixon) that he may think about putting Westbrook back there to run it.

Stoops says his running backs get carries based on who's hot and who's tired. #Sooners

Stoops on watching Saturday unfold with all the upsets: "I don't sit there with my pom poms out." But, he did congratulate Iowa on the win.
