ON MISSED OPPORTUNITIES...
"We had a chance to win. We come out and get a three-and-out and it's 14-7 and we get a three-and-out and we get an explosive run and we got a procedure penalty... I thought we had a chance to win. I know we have a good football team. This is a tough place to play. All your preparation is really sped up because of dealing with the sound but i felt good coming in. I knew we would have to get some breaks -- they were going to have to turn it over, they were going to have to get some penalties. Here's the thing, we had some opportunities. I think we had two balls bounce off our chest and so those our plays, they're missed opportunities, you got to make those."They would NEVER win in Happy Valley with those current respective rosters, game after game, with our current defensive secondary and lack of ability at QB and WR. We would lose 10 out of 10, unless we win the turnover battle by +3. Tying it up midway through the game would still not have equaled a win once PSU started to exert their will. The better talent (and being at home) allowed them to run a pretty vanilla, methodical game plan with zero anxiety or worry. At no point were they remotely concerned or flustered about much of anything we were doing. Did anyone inform him we lost by 23 and that was WITH their kicker missing 2 FG's?
Definitely seems like part coach speak and part job posturing.
Let's see how they do against more mediocre teams the rest of the way.
