first off you got to tip your half to Clemson uh it's it's tough to win here and but I think it starts with us and our standard is our standard we have to make sure we improve first half they scor eight touchdowns um seven explosive passes one exp explosive run so that's unacceptable second half prob we come out and competed did a better job in the second half but we we're going to turn the page very quick here and get ready for East Carolina any questions Sean can you kind of diagnose in terms of the passive place the bus that on those they got great receivers they do and wa to be deeper than the deepest I thought we did good in first and second down but they didn't Putt in the third they had Putt in the first half so uh we get that corrected again it's not schematics we got to make sure we again have a deep C back there then when we bring pressure it's it's one1 coverage and you got to make sure you make your plays when you're adding you seeing that so much pressure on Joey from the outset is just difficult to set up a passing game how much pressure did that just put on your offense overall I'm sorry what was that Joey was seeing pressure from most of his drops how much pressure did that put added pressure did that put on the offense I thought the offens line did did well I mean there was a couple times they got to him again they had great players on their defense draft picks on the KN line and our guys held their own for for the most part but uh it did look like he was a little uh rattled there early again Joey is a very U very competitive he wants to do very well he understands that know he's the quarterback he make this kind of throw so um but um it is what it is in that part of it we got to do a better job did Clemson do anything offensively that surprised you or CAU you off guard yeah they run right past us if they did so uh again that's a very good football team and and but again that's not our standard and we have to make sure we get things corrected cuz no one's going to feel sorry for App State and again we'll get back tonight we'll go back to work tomorrow for East Carolina you guys have been so close against so many power teams now tou on in the last eight games I guess what about this was different than all these other ones that they didn't get away well they have a good football team they do and we have to play better uh we understand that our standards our standard and that falls directly on us as coaches us as players we have to all own this and and move on if you go through a hard time and you won't learn from it all you do is went through a hard time so uh our kids are hurt in that locker room we expect to play better we expect to win we come down here to play second fiddle and uh but again the scores are score we can learn from this short week coming after East Carolina with South Alabama coming into town does a short week help or after this is it is it better to get right back to it in it's normal week it's a normal week this week so uh again all of our potential East Carolina a great football team and uh so uh we'll worry about South Al when that comes right now we we're going to turn this page we're going watch the tape on the bus tonight grade it and get Cor in tomorrow and move on East Carolina you went for a number of four down the second half any score running up at all did you understand that that that's his program I have a lot of respect for Coach SW that's his program and he's going to do what his best for his program but um yeah any last questions what did you tell the kids when it got the school got to where it was how do you keep them motivated how do you keep their chins up in a situation yeah I don't think we folded tent in the second half we kept competing and again we on the first drive and scored a touchdown and had a chance to score again there in the in the fourth quarter and uh so our kids didn't F the T that's not what we're about we have the right stuff about us as players coaches in this whole whole program so uh you know they continue to fight uh we just going to get the job done Bron they kind of took you out of it really early in this one what what was your uh how did you see it on F uh we gave up a lot of explosive plays both on the uh both on the ground in and through the air so those just some things we got to clean up uh just working on trusting each other as a whole defense but we know we know what we uh we know what we were supposed to do we just didn't execute it and get it done but we'll move on we watch the film and uh and look forward to next week and improving you guys have a reputation of like coming into places like this and usually throwing a scare into the bigger teams uh that that didn't unfold tonight were you guys up was there something about this atmosphere that that that surprised you guys a little bit oh yeah I think Clemson is a really good football team um I think we're a good football team as well I think we didn't play up to our standard and uh I think Clemson uh gave us a run for our money and uh props to them but uh we'll get back to work tomorrow and we We'll Wash the tape and clean everything up and we'll be ready to play next week you look at the scoreboard how how exactly do you race memory of loss of of this statue uh 24-hour rule we have a rule here uh watch the film um clean it up and after we watch the film and clean it up you move on Thon gets out to such a great start and your offense is in a deep hole before we can even get possession and get moving what did they do to sort of put you guys behind to the level you did yeah I mean had about as bad of a start as you could have and so it's hard it was hard to it's hard to climb out of um it was just kind of a momentum thing I feel like um they were rolling on offense so their defense was rolling so like is uh it's hard to get going we weren't doing our job as an offense um and so it's just I think it was just we got punched in the face and we didn't handle it the way we should have um and that kind of just is the way the the way the game went and um but there's a lot you tack in the second half you got started scored on your opening drive it just really couldn't maintain that momentum uh now it's behind you what do you do going forward yeah I mean this is you got to learn from games like this um it's you know this is not who we are um I know that I know what we have on this team and this just isn't us it's not App State and um all you can do is just learn from it I we got exposed in areas that you know hopefully will help us down the road um and so that's all you can do is just learn from it don't let this be a representation of of the rest of the season and it won't be as a captain what were those conversations like when the score isn't what you want it to be to keep plugging away and keep fighting just Pride you just got to have I mean it happened quick I mean and and so at that point it's just you got to have some pride like you're we're not going to lay down um and I I don't think we did that um you know but um that was all it was just trying to you know still fight like Don't Go Go Out Swinging just that was really just what I was trying to relay and the rest of the guys on the team how do you feel like the team responded to that and will they be able to carry that the rest of the season starting next week at each line I mean I I think there was parts of the game you know after the beginning where we did some good things um and so we didn't we didn't lay down um but just too many mistakes overall and but um I I I know the guys on this team I know what we have and um we're not going to let this carry carry forward I know that
