--Brown said it was bad football. They were improved and ready to go and beat West Virginia in every phase. They did not block them, and they never covered them, so it was pretty simple. Disappointing performance and just bad football. They weren’t very good today. After five or six minutes in the third quarter they were never in the game.
--Brown said they got exposed on defense today. They haven’t been consistent and struggled with coverage and they threw the football on them. They haven’t covered Thornton yet as he might still be open. They played soft and underneath didn’t do well getting into the flats, so they made it really easy.
--Scottie Young was not healthy. Jackie Matthews had been splitting time there and he got all the reps. Inability to cover didn’t have any effect on Young being out.
--The right side of the line in particular didn’t block. They lost one-on-one battles over and over. There is fundamental issues there and they did some things to take advantage of bad matchups. But they simply didn’t play well there. Brown said it’s hard to talk about improvement when you put that on tape. Wyatt Milum was hurt, and they didn’t want to shake his confidence by throwing him out there.
--Brown said they didn’t chase the ball defensively as well as they have but he can talk more about everything on Tuesday.
--On the first play of the game, he thought it was poor officiating. It’s better for him not to talk about it. He isn’t really pleased with that aspect.
--Bye week they have to solve some issues. If you look at it through five games they’ve been right there, but today was a completely different story, so everything is on the table. Baylor played well but they didn’t do enough to compete at this level. Go away for 48-hours and then try to fix what happened.
--Lack of depth has been an issue defensively and they lack numbers especially in the secondary so defensive line was they’ve started to show they can play so they got them out there. Their ones weren’t putting stuff out there that was good enough.
--Team is beat up emotionally and traveled only 66 guys. They have issues to fix and the bye week comes at the right time so the more time to fix it the better.
