It was a good play.Īnd in that moment, you know, it was good at the end there and hit the explosive at the end on the reverse and cracked us on that. And then on the reverse, we got - you know, we got blocked. I think we missed a tackle.Īgain, I said it all week, I mean, he’s a tremendous back, I think it was MarShawn (Lloyd) that broke it, if it wasn’t him. The competitive, you know, character that we generally play with, you know, wasn’t there. MARK STOOPS: Yeah, I think late in the game - you know, again, there’s no excuse for it. (Question concerning explosive plays – No microphone.) And there’s areas where we didn’t do a good enough job around him. And there’s things that he did very well. I thought we played as poorly as we have all year at certain positions around a first-time starter.Īnd I don’t think that’s right for that young man. I don’t think we responded and played very well around him. So, it’s one thing that, you know, I put on all of us myself, the coaches, and the team. I don’t think we played very good around him. MARK STOOPS: He did some good things when he had time, I thought, when we put him in a position to be successful. Mark, how do you assess how Kaiya (Sheron) played? And, you know, those are self-inflicted things that are - we can’t have and there’s no excuse for them. And, you know, the competitive nature that we generally have. And it goes back to, you know, the intensity that we play with, the intensity that we practice with. MARK STOOPS: You know, the detailed focus that we generally play with. So, you know, that wasn’t a good opening play.Īside from that one, you had some more kind of self-inflicted, whether procedural, is that - it’s back-to-back weeks, what can you kind of contribute those to? So, I probably put that thought in Rich’s (Scangarello) head. And I said that looks good, you know, that we might be able to get him in a predictable defense. You know, I - we were running it in - late in the week and some - it wasn’t the opener. MARK STOOPS: Not very good thinking, John. And we got another top-25 team coming in here next week. We generally have.Īnd we got to do a better job. And, you know, as I told the team, you better buckle up because nobody feels sorry for you. Even after the tough start, we come in at halftime and somehow manage to tie it up and commence 7-7.Īnd then we talked about, you know, again, the competitive nature that our team generally plays with and sustained intensity that we generally play with, and I don’t feel like we really did that.Īnd that’s, obviously, the job of a head coach, to get the team prepared and to put them in position to be successful. I don’t think our team played with the normal competitive character that we generally play with. I don’t feel like we did a great job putting a first-time starter in a position to be successful.
