What was your assessment of the Tulane game?
First of all I felt like we really didn't play well as an offense. I felt
like the defense did their part, they played well enough for us to win. We
really didn't execute as an offense that was the main thing.
What differences did you see in the Tulane game from the Rice game? You seem
to play in the shotgun offense more in the Rice game?
I really didn't see a big difference the main thing was just the execution.
Basically it was the same football game. They (Tulane) probably had a better
secondary, but it didn't make a difference we just didn't execute.
Despite the setback against Tulane are you enjoying your first season of
college football?
Oh yeah I'm having a great time. I've experience both sides of the win/lost
column so the only thing I can do from here on out is just go out and have
fun and try to win more ball games.
We seem to be moving the ball effectively on the ground but had turnovers
at the critical part of the game. What was the offensive game plan going
into the Tulane and how did that change during the course of the game after
the turnovers?
I felt like the game plan was to go in and run the ball down and throw and
then open up the pass a little bit. The ball was wet out there and
unfortunately we had some costly turnovers, but yes are game plan was to run
the ball down the field.
It looks like the Cougars good but mistakes are causing the victories, am I
right?
Yes we are doing really good but we are not a team right now that can afford
to turn the ball over. I just think by focusing and concentrating harder on
protecting the ball and not making costly mistakes. If we don't do those
things I think we will be fine.
