COLLIN KLEIN, OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
On what occurred at Oklahoma State…
“Nicely, quite a bit did, and quite a bit did not. It was clearly a irritating night time in plenty of completely different areas. We have to seek out and be higher at constantly getting higher in all phases of the offense week to week. You already know, we’ve not been in a position to stack two or three the place all areas have been enhancing. Clearly disappointing. I believe the largest factor is once you’re on the street, we’ve got to handle the soccer, and we will not get penalties and have psychological errors. It’s extremely straightforward to start out taking little issues as a right. From our perspective, it begins with us because the workers and all the way down to our gamers and people little, little issues add up actually, actually quick. That is what results in a efficiency like that.”
On what Texas Tech presents defensively…
“They are a actually lengthy group. They acquired actually good size up entrance. I believe they’re twitchy. I believe they acquired good go rushers, and people 4 guys up entrance pin their ears again and are available after you a bit bit. They will play plenty of man protection, and so they acquired some size and a few good cowl guys within the again finish. They will be aggressive. They have been aggressive towards us final yr, and it is one thing we’ll need to guarantee that we deal with and take one step at a time.”
On deciding when to play Avery Johnson…
“Yeah, thus far, not less than when it has been shut, it has been a bit little bit of a really feel, been a bit bit schematically a number of the issues that we had within the recreation plan for the way we thought we have been going to get to offer us a bonus. I believe we have a very good plan for Avery transferring ahead on this week, however clearly Will (Howard) would be the major man, in order that’s type of how we have labored it. He will be simply fantastic.”
On the prospect of seeing new receivers…
“I believe there’s an opportunity. I believe there’s a few younger guys that would get in there. I would say most likely Jayce Brown would soar to the highest of the record in my head for that, that may get on the sphere and have an opportunity to make an impression.”
On if he agrees with Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire calling the sport a warfare…
“I undoubtedly do. I bear in mind each time I went all the way down to Lubbock as a participant for certain. It should be a night recreation, hostile atmosphere. I believe they are a bodily bunch, aggressive bunch, and it is going to come all the way down to who’s in a position to execute and make some performs and never make some errors. I believe it is a good description.”
JOE KLANDERMAN, DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
On what was completely different in regards to the Oklahoma State recreation…
“I believed most likely for the primary time this season perhaps we did not win the bodily battle on the line of scrimmage. There have been actually some particular person matchups that I believed we did an okay job with, however I believed they have been the extra aggressive soccer group. Once we’re not making performs of their backfield, and once we’re taking part in on our aspect of the road scrimmage it is by no means going to be a very good factor. They did a pleasant job of getting the ball out on the perimeter and dinking and dunking and type of getting us a bit bit tentative, and that is the tip outcome.”
On what he sees in Texas Tech’s Tahj Brooks…
“He is phenomenal. I believe he is most likely as scorching of a again as there’s within the league proper now. Only a actually greater again, a man that is harder to carry down, a man that is very affected person, actually does a very good job of conserving his toes beneath him, by no means will get himself overextended. It is laborious to get good pictures in on him. I believe he is good within the go safety. I believe he does plenty of issues actually, rather well. I believe he is a extremely good soccer participant.”
On watching the protection lose the bodily battle…
“It would not occur fairly often, ? I believe that is the place a few of our management’s simply acquired to proceed to progress. I believe when you’ve a man like Deuce (Daniel) Inexperienced rally the troops, and it isn’t any particular person, it is simply the aggressiveness by which we play. If we’re attempting to be proper on a regular basis, and we’re attempting to be simply good in the whole lot that we do as a substitute of going out and taking part in soccer, that is by no means going to be a very good scenario. If we’re sitting there analyzing as a substitute of attacking, we’re at all times going to be a step behind.”
On what protection can do to create extra turnovers…
“We have type of fallen into this. We’re taking part in much more man protection, which I believe inherently goes to, perhaps with much less eyes on the soccer generally that finally ends up being a scenario that creates much less turnovers, simply because you do not have as many eyes on balls. We’re not doing something in another way than we have executed up to now. We could not be emphasizing it extra. I imply, we do turnover circuits on a regular basis. We drill it, we watch it, we do it in observe. It is simply not materializing on recreation day. I believe generally turnovers are magical issues. Generally they arrive in bunches, after which generally you go in droughts. However once more, I believe once we play with aggression, and once we simply have that mentality, I believe that is when these issues begin to occur a bit bit extra incessantly.”
On what the protection did within the crimson zone at Oklahoma State to power area targets…
“I simply thought we executed a bit bit higher once we acquired down there. I believe we acquired our toes beneath us. We did not make any magical calls or do something completely different. Guys simply bowed up and did their jobs. I believe that had we executed that perhaps earlier within the sequence, we would not have had these conditions within the first place. However I believe it simply comes all the way down to our aggression and our execution.”
