In his first public comments since Saturdays’ 21-14 loss at Vanderbilt, Dooley didn’t spare himself from the criticism.
“It's not a surprise. We talked about it, but when you're not emotionally ready to play … I didn't do a good job getting our guys ready. I could have had a better game plan, could have called plays better, could have executed better. None of us, the whole unit, we didn't play very well. But we’ve got to dust off our britches, get back to work and go do what we've done over the (prior) five weeks, which has been pretty good football.
