Tough emotional loss on Thursday night. I thought our guys played extremely, extremely hard. I thought we prepared well and gave us an opportunity to be in that game. We missed a great opportunity on the road against the No. 12 team in the country on national TV. I don’t want to take away from how our guys played, which I was proud of the effort and intensity.
I thought our special teams played really well. Probably our best game overall. Had a huge advantage on special teams.
Negatives:
- Our penalty on opening KO return put us in a bind there, having to start inside the 10-yard line.
