Notes

-Disappointed with the loss
-Thankful to the fans for staying out there in the rain.
-Louisville played well on defense today. They won the line of scrimmage. Didn’t run the ball the way we had been running it. When we did drop back there was pressure.
-In the first half we weren’t as effective on third down as we have been. A lot of it was tackling. We had coverage when we needed it. We couldn’t get their quarterback down.
-There are some positives in the game. I thought we made some good adjustments at halftime and held them to a field goal in the second half.
-The two turnovers were costly. When you turn the ball over and don’t get any takeaways. When they run for 200 yards and you run for 45, that’s not a recipe for victory.
-We aren’t going to feel sorry for ourselves. We are going to come in tomorrow and work and get ready for a short week against Virginia Tech.
-You can always look at everything you so and say you can coach better. I can be better.
-The 1st half we had 23 plays on offense, so it was hard to get anything established.
-There are some plays I know Jacoby would like to have back. He didn’t complete a couple that he would normally complete. That’s not because of who we played. We had guys open.
-This is a setback, but it’s nothing we are going to panic about.
-I told them at halftime “that’s not us man.” We had 4 penalties in the first half and none in the second. We had the turnover and we weren’t tackling well. I told them to go out there and be themselves. I thought we had a really good third quarter on defense.
-We had good energy in a lot of plays in the second half. We just couldn’t put it together.
