Before the season, Wilson publicly built up the potential of the Sooner line, even though only two of its members, tackle Trent Williams and guard Brian Simmons, had played meaningful snaps in their careers.
Later, Wilson was asked about Stoops’ comments.
“You guys never played cards? You watch that Texas hold 'em deal, where sometimes you bluff a little bit, too?” Wilson replied. “But those guys, the only problem I have is that those guys are more talented than they have played. They're gaining on it. But their talent level does not match their performance.
“So to me, I see their talent and their potential. But potential's a dirty word. That just means you haven't done it yet.”
Here’s more of what Stoops had to say during his press conference:
On Nebraska's tradition:
"I have played Nebraska here for a long time, I have always had a great respect for them. There's a lot of amazing tradition and history, in fact we as a team watched a lot of that yesterday. I always wonder if our freshmen, sophomores and guys who haven't been around very long have a true understanding of the tradition and history and pride of that program. I've always felt that playing them is tough."
On the offensive line's improvement:
"I would say who starts doesn't much matter, it's just how we have played the last couple of weeks. There has been more consistency. So hopefully there is more consistency and a little better play overall. They will need to be against a very good defensive front. I feel like we are making strides but we have to do it each week."
