If you somehow missed it, here's what Oklahoma backup quarterback Austin Kendall had to say late Wednesday night during an appearance on SoonerSports.
"I think they (Ohio State) have a really basic defense. Baker (Mayfield) – he'll light them up. I'm really looking forward to it, and if my number's called, I think I can do the same."
Bold strategy, Cotton. We'll see how it plays out for him.
As you might have guessed, Ohio State players past and present saw the comments and they took to Twitter for a response of their own. Here are some of the best tweets from Thursday.

Some former players caught wind of the comments, as well, like current New York Jet Darron Lee as well as ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit.

Plot twist: We go *live* to Kendall himself as he breaks the first rule of Twitter: never tweet.

We're guessing this is the last time Bob Stoops allows his backup quarterback to speak to the media.
Ohio State and Oklahoma kickoff 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
