OPENING
We’re disappointed
Congratulations to Texas and Sark
I’ve got a disappointed team. We expected to win. Going to allow them time to hurt
A lot to learn and apply from today
The perimeter tackling was disappointing
Did a good job of creating vertical leverage but didn’t down the ball
They couldn’t get body-on-body on check downs
When we weren’t in the right position they made us pay
Defensively we created some turnovers that were helpful in our calls
Created some disruption
The second half we settled into our identity but it took too long
Credit Texas’s defense. Turning the ball over hurt
You can’t create extra possessions and we fell short of our formula
We learn from this outcome and move forward


4TH AND 2 CALL
The book has them going more aggressively than he would in that spot
If they reset at 4th and 5 its a punt and play defense
Analytics supported the decision which does matter
but the concern is they were so efficient offensively
He believed in the offense’s ability to convert
Decision was all about having the time on the clock to win the game

THE SKINNER CALL
I’m disappointed in it
There’s a conversation to be had
There was a moment to be aggressive
Great play call and executed well
Hate it when officiating gets in the way. That’s not any kind of statement because those guys do what they’re told to do
But wants the conversation about what was the point of emphasis
“That play is not affected by Quincy Skinner’s shoulders.”
