**NOTE: Coach Grobe Quotes Featured in Above Video**

Seth Russell, QB

On how he feels...
"I feel great. I definitely feel that I'm going to play. I'm just going through some concussion protocols. That's what they want me to do and I'm going to do that, but I feel great. I woke up with a lot of energy this morning, and ready to get after TCU.

On being sacked six times in Saturday's game...
"We'll clean it up. I think we got out of our groove a little bit. We were moving at first, but then I threw an interception on that second drive on the first play which threw us off a little bit. Their defense made some adjustments on us, which kind of stalemated us a little bit. Once we figured it out and talked about it, the sacks just kind of came through from them playing hard. It's a rivalry game and a lot of guys are going to be flying around and playing harder than they normally do. For the most part, I think we'll clean up those things and be better this week."

On role this week to get the team ready for TCUà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think it's just to stay focused. There is more noise outside, but we've got to stay focused, got to keep fighting."

On TCU's defenseà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"Coach Patterson does a great job of putting them in the right place at the right time. We have to bring that energy; I know they are going to bring it. We have to play fast and play how we know to play."

Aiavion Edwards, LB

On the team's mindset going forwardà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"It's a hard thing to get over a loss, but I think that we're determined to get back to the winning record. I think that the loss won't change much, and we're going to be a very determined team coming into this week."

On the possibility of winning the Big 12à ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"We know that we have to take care of business, and that it is still a possibility. We have to take it one game at a time though. There isn't much we can control other than that, so we just have to focus on this week."

On facing strong running backsà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think that we'll be a lot more polished going forward. I think that our mistakes will be taken care of, and we won't have a problem with them again."

Jordan Feuerbacher, TE

On concerns about regroupingà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I don't think we have any concern about how we'll bounce back. We were talking after the game and in meetings yesterday - we're still in the driver's seat for this thing. We still have a lot of football to play."

On Seth getting hit more often against Texasà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I think it's some stuff that we can clean up, and I think that's also that he ran the ball quite a bit as well. He's going to have to take some of those shots if he's going to run the ball like that, but I think we can clean some stuff up."

On difficulty of turning the page with TCU coming upà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"It's another big game. I know everyone was a little bummed after the loss, but we've got a big game to look forward to."

On not putting the game away against Texasà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"It's fair to say we had the opportunity to put them away. I think that comes down to not executing, especially in the red zone. As an offense, I think we need to work on that and improve on that aspect of our game."

On if winning the conference will be enough to make the playoff this yearà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"I don't know, they haven't even come out with the rankings yet or anything. We're just not really worrying about that at this point, we're just worrying about TCU and winning out and winning the Big 12. Whatever happens happens. We'll play hard no matter what bowl game or where we're at."

Kyle Fuller, C

On TCU's defenseà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"They like to move around a lot. It's a lot of different looks from a lot of different personnel. That's always been consistent with TCU, so we're going to have to take it play by play and make sure everybody knows what they need to do."

On controlling own destinyà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"We have to control what we can control. Going into this next game coming up, we have to focus on the opponent that we're playing that Saturday. We can't think about the big picture."

On if offensive line took a step back with sacksà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"A lot of them were just miscommunications with things going on in the backfield. I don't think we took a step back at all. We played very physical football and that was really the whole point of that game."

On TCU defense this year as opposed to last yearà ¢Ã¢' ¬ ¦
"They look about the same to me. We just have to make sure that we go in and do our job."
