WACO, Texas — Oklahoma senior linebacker Eric Striker had something he wanted to say after his postgame interview session began.
Striker, known not only for his pass rushing skills but also for his curiosity about and knowledge of politics and current events, said his thoughts were with the victims of Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris.
“I'm thinking about Paris,” Striker told reporters gathered outside the OU locker room in McLane Stadium. “My deepest sympathy goes out to those people in Paris. We play football and that's all good, but when tragic stuff happens like that, it's horrible.
