e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e congratulations Oklahoma State they found a way to win um well coach we saw it last year against BYU BYU had put a made a nice run on them half and in the third quarter and then lost late um obviously we're disappointed because we had the statistics were way in our favor I thought our defense played three quarters of great football um they wore out a little bit offensively we made too many mistakes um put the ball on the ground through a pick six um and um you know we went to a spell there in the third quarter that we were moving the football but we couldn't the snap was either low or we couldn't catch it I had to watch on t two to three times really stop drives um and you know just had a chance to go up 11 unfortunately we able to make the field goal and but Oklahoma State they came back and they beat us we've got to take care of the ball I like the intensity that we played with um and it came down to we turned the ball over too many times and we got beat and uh congratulations to them um we've got a good football team we've got to correct these mistakes move forward what you tell your guys probably just about what I just told you we made too many mistakes um um we played extremely hard I was proud of our defense you know that's a good offensive team and for three quarters you know we have them six points defensively um um and just same thing talked about the turnovers talked about it's one loss it's it's not an SEC loss it's a one that U you know if we'll we'll learn from it and then flush it and then come back I feel like we've got a really good football team we just we we can't win games turning the football over I thought we did a good job on oi Gordon I thought he was good as what we thought he was going to be um thought we did a nice job there I thought for the most part we did did a good job of covering and I just talked to him about that um and I know the disappointment but U once we get home we got to bounce back from this one and and head to the next one it's early in the year I think we Prov that we've got a good team we just got we got to hang on the football wasting third not go well I think we still played well defensively you know um um offensively it was a uh you know we would have pressure on the quarterback we didn't run the ball as well in the third quarter is what we had they were put a little bit more movement on us a little bit more pressure on us to try to stop the run and then you know like I said we we had three or four snaps that were low um and then U we you know right when we thought we were going to come back have my punch you know what I mean but um I was pleased with with how our defense played for three quarters at halftime to answer your question we knew that they were going to make a rally we knew they were we talked about um they have done it in the past they're at home they're a veteran team we're going to have to go beat them uh and what happened is we just we shot ourselves in the foot a little bit and and uh seemed like there for a while maybe 20 minutes of the third and fourth quarter we we you know everything we did was not not right we put the ball ground snaps trigger play muff punt Miss fi go everything seemed like could go wrong kind of went wrong there and that that span of time I was really proud of the two-minute drive at the end and Ramy for kicking the pill go to get us into OT you that's the first OT game we've lost since I've been here I felt like once we can get into OT we we would find a way to win we just didn't you had a in the fourth quarter tie game I think field goal 42 was that a fin yeah I just felt like at that point we just missed one from the same distance and I felt like we need a little bit of momentum and and uh I felt honestly I felt like we were going to make it on Fourth and five we busted U we busted section and you know honestly Tom we were probably lucky to get the four and a half that we got um understanding that uh they had 80 yards to go and I to me risk risk reward uh I had I have no uh uh second guessing that at all I felt really good about uh what B had called U our opportunity to convert that and make maybe changed a little bit of the momentum and probably we just miss the one before from the same distance probably had a little bit to do with it but I really thought we could we could either a get the first down and score touchdown or I felt like we could hold right there and uh this didn't happen rney Hill was on the last yeah qu just was you know we we didn't know whether he could make it out there or back or you know was just had a lot of cramps and they were everywhere they were in on Sam train he's probably getting IVs now cuz he's probably going to go in full body cramp if we don't watch out I'm sure they're taking care of [Music] him yeah I thought it was really good you know had a lot of a lot of yards after he caught the football you know made some guys miss and ran extremely hard um played hard blocked well uh but you know 10 10 catches for 164 yards I thought he had a really good day and of course protection and thrower has something to do with it as well but he got open and I was just I was pleased to get him back out there a posi take out of a tough l t yeah I think so I mean I think you can take a lot of positive things out of this game you certainly can take a lot of negatives out of it as well we got to clean up like I said we got to hold on the football and if we do that this game would have been in my opinion quite a bit different but we didn't so we've got to figure that out we we practice it every day you know practicing it on Monday on Tuesday on Wednesday um we just didn't hold on to it what did you see on the m h exactly what happened was one of our guys got knocked into sat uh into his legs and U I mean it was it was legal you know but about the time he was getting ready to catch it uh some guy hit him and hit him in the legs and and he dropped it on Monday kick mention shley and opport yeah I think so I mean it's always a competition but um I think so I mean um I hate it you know I hate it for him you know I know we missed a couple but he also one put us in overtime and if we played a little bit better maybe that wouldn't have come up you know but you know their kicker missed as well to put us in I think over time too so but yeah that competition is always up certainly is now defensively the focus was what was the main focus when defending you guys in check yeah we we were trying to we were trying to uh make him run east and west and not North and South so a lot of our games and a lot of things we were doing was trying to kick him outside we knew that if he ever got his shoulders turned on us that he'd be you know he broke 13 tackles last week and he probably broke a bunch you know today as well but U that was our game plan on him yeah just I wonder if you could touch on y got out to such a quick start today is there something that you notic that you might be able to duplicate I'm sorry just if there's anything you Noti that that you're able to duplicate in terms of just out quick you know from the first game to the first half you know we we we had a sack that stopped the very first drive and got us out of field field goal range as well um but no not anything more than what you know Bob's call a really good game of mixture mixing up and throwing passing and Waggles and getting outside moving the pocket um you know when we lost our big back you know J quinon he he's a good player for us when he when he's cramping and things that that hurts us a little bit I thought Ry did a really good job of coming in and running there U made a really nice run to get us a first down down there in the second overtime um but no not anything different than what what um um the way that we practice and our openers our openers have been good um so we'll continue to do that ni seems like they were pretty aggressive the BL and that you yeah I thought you know we obviously they had a total in other words they're all zero and they're going to bring more than you can block we we certainly prepared big time for that um we missed a couple we had sat open on the post once that we missed in that same situation uh but you know the pressure got there a little bit faster than what we wanted it to um but we worked extremely hard whether we were in 11 personnel 12 personel or in 20 where we didn't have a tight end to use as a blocker so we we worked on several different situations to we knew they were going to do it and uh we just didn't execute quite as good as what we anticipated that we were able to we practice it it U I felt like if they got into that we could get it out get them out of it pretty fast and uh it was kind of the opposite they they got sack early and then continue to do that a little bit think well I thought I thought we played well I mean we had 650 yards you know so the line had against a good team so the line had to play uh well uh did we play consistent do we have M bu yes and so we' got we've got to correct those I didn't notice a lot of holding calls and things like that so that means that our feet are moving we're in good position uh I thought we played hard um you know we need to get cter back so we can rotate a little bit more and and keep keep our guys fresh it out there but um for the most part I thought the line played pretty well we've got we've got to get better at pass protection on the edge um but I thought we played as pretty good I guess second time stop [Music] FL I think well I think anytime that you pick a guy up and you slam him to the turf I think it's no different you make a t on you stand up or what they did they did the guns and all that you know if you give opportunities uh for officiating to make a call they can or they can't and on that one I said hey he was still trying to move forward and the offici said no coach he just anytime you they're going to pick him up and slam him to the ground that's going to be a personal foul and you know what he's right so T I know he Hades but he 500 yard rushing pass think game he's a warrior know he works aw hard it's unfortunately he got on a pick six he got hit you know he got hit wobbled out there and the kid made the young man made a nice interception and turn returned it but uh he he's he's our guy and and uh obviously I'm sure he'd like to have some throws back he'd like to have some decisions that he made back but that's you know to have 500 yards against a good football team I think we've got a good one there and he'll continue to get better and we got to get better around him up you said in Camp that the first test was going to be a real meaning your team what's your anticipation what this team I really like the team I do I think I think we're going to roll up our sleeves on on Monday and learn from the mistakes that we made learn from the good things that we did today I think we'll roll up Our Sleeve we'll be ready for that home opener uh against um UAB and and U I think the kids will be excited to play I mean you can't look at our team and say that man where do they go from here they're not very I don't I'm not saying they're not very good or they don't have talent or that we got to learn how to finish games and hang on the football and I think we do that we have have a really good year so we got to flush it we had to flush last we got to flush it and head towards the next one I think they will be honest with youate thank you appreciate it have tall [Music] sit e e e e e know focusing on you know what our ass is and just consist on thisr last years what's the feel like in terms of being different and maybe we know we had Jump On In the first half and we would have time think to ourselves saying to ourselves that we have to finish this game out because we had a lot of games last year we lost either three or six points so it's in our mind it's just that these games like this we just have to work more on closing out and finish the game plan on really talk about what you did uh just basically we knew that we stop the run you know make our off scramble but at the end of the day we it was back and know it's really how good is that maybe speak forward I mean I like our chemistry didn't falled him training room you know Monday through Sunday you know every single day he's been working and he look you know really good you know out down the field know I'm know ex proud him how he fought through um you know deal with the you know a lot of mental you know tough that goes through that so I felt like you know ourry was you went situation firsts makes gu he just knows his frame you know he knows what he good at and just the versatility um that he that he has you know whether it's a deep ball whether it's intermediate or short I know if I put it in his range that he's he's going to catch it and that's what you know I like you know a quarterback loves that and rece bring doing that um I feel like of course you know it's tough but you I to do a better job you know getting the ball out um patr talks about getting my hips up and fade more um so that's just you know what we're going to work on you get board and you know work in practice so you know it's not going to happen againu I feel like it was just a test of you know what happened in the second half mental errors you know I mean I'm athletic you know I I put myself to you know to to catch the ball you know the ball is the most important thing and that's what you know we're going to focus on and you know get back to uh we work on it the two minute you know all the time so we just you know going through each situation what you know coach is thinking and the plays so I mean that's what I feel comfor on situation they do a great job you know constantly you know put every Wednesday or Thursday practice we do like two minut we were extremely excited but you know we know the game's not over yet you know so you know lock in focus on our keys team respond to this I knowing play well back to the Mond that's all we can do just focus on mistakes try to minimize them look what we did bad over better and just go from there and turn the chapter Turn the Page and M they start UAB Pro was quter what happened you end up running yeah I mean it was uh one of our Concepts that would you know r one of our and you know I just saw a lan and you know I'm take off I have to make sure I make first that's know learn you know whe 4 I to put my shoulder down and get the first no matter what you yeah I mean um he made a great play you know of course it's a pick six but you know the one thing in my mind was you know it's all about my response you know um it was it was early in the game so you know I really can't do nothing about it you know after just learn from it and you know responding I know the defense is going to you know have our backs and just like we're going to have their backs so I didn't have you know any doubts of that that never cat I was on I was rushing the passer and then the running back didn't have the ball the quarterback didn't have the ball then I seen there was like no fle fle flicker you know we knew comeing the game have like some tricks up their sleeves and then when I seen the ball go down and he was wide open all I thought about was just trying to go chase him to prevent him from getting appreciate
