Many a reporter has tried to rake a juicy quote out of Oklahoma State running back Kendall Hunter. Can’t blame Steve Hunt for trying for FoxSportsSouthwest.com. But Hunter seems to follow the advice from the Good Book in letting his yeses be yes and his nos be no. He didn’t depart from in this Q&A.

On Mike Gundy’s impact on him: “He has impacted me a lot. He’s pushed me. He’s just a powerful motivator.”

On OSU’s new quarterback: “Brandon Weeden is a good quarterback. I think he’ll do fine.”

On who he’d rather beat, OU or Texas: “I’d like to beat both of them. I’d do anything to beat them. It would mean a lot. Our goal is to win the Big 12 championship.”

Reading some preseason publications, you get the feeling that some college football analysts think OSU new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen’s spread offense will diminish Hunter’s impact on the game. I’m not buying it. Hunter led the Big 12 in rushing in 2008 and was injury plagued most of last season. I think he he’s in for a big year.
