NORMAN, Okla. — Here’s what Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley had to say on Saturday following the Sooners’ spring game.

On Bob Stoops saying Lincoln Riley will have a statue next to his  one day:

“I’m just going to try to make it to year two. I just got through my first spring game.”

On the playing elements:

“It was challenging. It was similar to the Kansas game this year. Into the wind, there were parts of the field you couldn’t throw to … We did some decent things throwing in it. We’re used to it.”

On injuries:

“We’ll look at Trey Sermon. We’ll evaluate it further, but I don’t think it’s serious.”

On the quarterback competition between Kyler Murray and Austin Kendall:

“Austin really settled in the last half of spring and has played really well.”

On the play of Oklahoma’s defense:

“I saw some guys step up. I didn’t see any guys out there who were hesitant.”

What Murray and Kendall need to do heading into the summer:

“Just continue to grow. We have a ton to evaluate from the spring … It’s a process and we’re in the middle of it right now.”

On offensive lineman Cody Ford:

“I’ve been really happy with the way Cody Ford has played. He’s looked good at tackle and we might very well keep him there … We didn’t anticipate that he’d do so well there.”

On running back Kennedy Brooks:

“He has a unique running style. Smooth. You can tell what he does well.”

On running back T.J. Pledger:

“T.J. Pledger was nicked up just enough to hold him out. But he’s had a really productive spring.”

On building the spring game into an event:

“It’s been awesome. It’s one thing after another. It’s a lot. We have big plans for it. I think you can build a lot on what you can potentially do with this weekend … We’re off to a great start.”
