OU football: Lincoln Riley addresses Curtis Bolton halftime situation against Texas

NORMAN — OU senior linebacker Curtis Bolton was seen walking out of Cotton Bowl Stadium at halftime Saturday against Texas, according to a Fox 25 photographer. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley was asked Monday evening about the situation.

“Blown out of proportion a little bit,” Riley said. “Sometimes guys get emotional and have to remove themselves from the situation a little bit. That’s a heated game. That’s a heated locker room. Curtis has been a warrior for us all year. He’s one of our emotional leaders no question, wears his heart on his sleeve like some of our guys do.
