8-13-2011 Scrimmage: Mike Gundy Interview

Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy speaks after the Cowboys first scrimmage of 2011 fall camp. The team has typically practiced in the morning, but the 6 p.m. start time matched the scheduled kick time for the Cowboys' season opener against Louisiana on Sept. 3.

"That was one of the best scrimmages we've had here in seven years. It was a lot of fun for me as a coach to watch our guys compete. We had about 170 plays if you count special teams. I was really encouraged by both sides of the ball. I don't think we turned the ball over, we didn't give up many big plays on defense. We had a lot of effort and saw some young guys make some plays. It was just a lot of fun being out there for two and a half hours. We were able to let our freshmen and young players get about 40 plays. To be able to watch them function as a group out there was really exciting. It was a good night, we had great weather and we couldn't ask for anything else."
