During his postgame press conference after the Oklahoma win on Saturday night, Brian Kelly responded to a question about next year's roster and hinted that some "key players" will be returning next season but did not name any names.

"Having key players come back... they haven't announced yet, but were going to have some key players decide to come back..."

Later in the press conference, Kelly talked about quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and mentioned things that he's going to work on in the offseason.

Kelly made it seem like Nussmeier could be back next year but caught himself before he said anything that was not official yet.

"In this first year of competition for him, it was really a window toward, what are those things he will be working on in the offseason, so that when he (pause) hopefully, comes back next year, can take that next step."
