Mark Stoops has been much more distraught after losses, even though they haven’t been much uglier than this one.
“Let me tell ya, I felt pretty rough after the 3-point loss and the 5-point loss too. I’ve felt a heck of a lot worse than I do right now,” Stoops said with his chin held high.
His defense gave up an absurd amount of yards, there were plenty of dumb penalties and multiple turnovers, but they simply got outplayed by a much better, more experienced team and will not allow it to ruin their season. “It’s not like we don’t care,” Patrick Towles said.
