COLLIN KLEIN, OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
On if he would have completed issues in a different way within the first half at Texas…
“Clearly, sure, as a result of issues did not work as we have been hoping or thought they might. It is simple to level nicely, ‘Hey, we could not run the soccer.’ We really threw it extra within the second quarter than we ran it and have been only a shade over 50/50 within the first quarter. We actually could not get something going. So, it is easy to level on the run recreation, however there have been some issues, clearly. We had some probabilities and have to attach on a couple of issues within the passing recreation to assist get these wheels turning just a little bit. So, clearly, it did not go as deliberate. “
On if he nonetheless feeds good enjoying two quarterbacks…
“I do. I do know our guys consider in each of them. I do know each of them have made some large performs and large contributions at completely different instances. Everybody is aware of that Will (Howard) is our chief and does an incredible job spearheading issues. Avery (Johnson) has completed a terrific job of stepping up and being prepared and making performs when he is had the chance to take action. So, I am actually proud of each of them.”
On what he sees from Baylor’s protection…
“Good size is typical. I feel they’re going to combine up some man and a few bracket coverage-type appears that change some matches round and various things. We will have to remain sharp on some issues, going to should make some performs versus some man protection conditions and sort of get again right into a groove of what we do in our id, with the ability to run the soccer and have good steadiness.”
On Will Howard’s play during the last a number of weeks…
“There’s so many good issues you’ll be able to say about Will, and simply how pleased with how he is continued to battle and enhance. He is enjoying a particularly excessive degree proper now, and I am actually excited to observe him and our offense be capable of distribute the ball like he has.”
On if Will Howard is underappreciated for his accomplishments…
“You all the time respect the appreciation, however on the finish of the day, you do it since you find it irresistible. You do it as a result of God’s given you the flexibility and the chance, and I do know that is why he does it. I feel that sort of rides out a number of the highs and or lows that he is skilled throughout his profession and have saved him very constant by that. I am tremendous pleased with him, and it would not shock me a bit that he is had that sort of manufacturing.”
JOE KLANDERMAN, DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
On how the protection performed towards Texas…
“Clearly we misplaced the sport, so there was lots of issues we may have completed higher. I’ve regrets on a few the scoring performs. The one was a communication error – the primary one – that we simply hadn’t made that mistake and let the one-on-one that should not have been a one-on-one. Then, the second landing was sort of a gadget that they acquired us on that we did not acknowledge. Texas is a very unimaginable workforce. They’ve expertise, they’re nicely coached, they’re schematically very, superb, and it took us a short while to get caught up. I assume what I am most proud of is the way in which that our guys fought. We didn’t get off to a terrific begin. It was one of many issues that we talked about doing. We have been sort of in a gap all day, however they saved swinging. I am actually, actually pleased with the way in which that we did some issues. We talked just a little bit Monday in regards to the final 9 performs of protection for us. Once we wanted it probably the most, we have been elite. They have been driving, and we held them on three performs and made them kick a area purpose. Then we missed our area purpose and had three performs and acquired it turned out, acquired them to punt, gave our offensive likelihood to placed on a rating. Then three performs of time beyond regulation – it is about nearly as good as you are able to do is third and 9, kicking a area purpose from the 24-yard line. So, we completed that factor rather well and are pleased with them.”
On if the protection modified something in the course of the recreation at Texas…
“Properly, that is one factor about Texas that they do a great job of is that they preserve the targets transferring, so it is more durable to do a few of that stuff. I feel we acquired accustomed to the velocity as the sport went on just a little bit. We will not replicate that. We have got some phenomenal scout receivers – and I feel we have got a very good scout workforce – however you’ll be able to’t replicate that. There’s not lots of groups within the nation that may’t replicate that. So, I feel that was just a little little bit of it was simply us getting used to that tempo of play. As soon as we did, I feel we began realizing that we are able to execute with these guys and play with these guys.”
On Baylor quarterback Blake Shapen…
“I’ve all the time thought very extremely of him since he got here into the sport right here in 2021 when (Gerry) Bohanon was the quarterback and acquired harm, and he got here in and simply did not bat an eye fixed together with his athleticism. It is unlucky that he is had some accidents and issues all through the previous couple of years, however he is actually athletic. Him working the soccer and him scrambling with the soccer is as scary as something that they do. He is performed lots of soccer. He is seen lots of footage. I feel he throws the ball precisely, and he is one of many higher quarterbacks within the league.”
On how the linebackers have change into a energy for the protection…
“It has been nice to observe the event of Jake Clifton. He acquired the beginning final week. We simply felt Austin Romaine has been great, particularly, he is only a freshman. What he is doing is unimaginable. We simply really feel Jake is so clever, such a great communicator, seen lots of soccer at this level in his profession. We simply really feel like he offers us an opportunity to do a couple of extra issues. However, yeah, these guys, Des (Desmond Purnell) and Austin (Moore), how they’ve rolled and the battle that they fought all recreation lengthy, I am actually pleased with these 4.”
On with the ability to combine issues up with Manufacturers Acronym…
“Marques is unimaginable. He is a bodily child, as bodily of a child as we’ve got on protection, comparatively. His potential to play man, it has been superior for us. So, we’re attempting to get him across the motion as a lot as we are able to get him across the motion.”
