On Arizona’s play…
“The first half we were competing, but we were just totally uncharacteristically undisciplined. There were the holding penalties and guys getting frustrated, but I mean holy cow. The undisciplined part of it from techniques to penalties to stuff like that, we just can’t afford to do those things. They had some too when the game was close, but we can’t have those things.”
On Arizona’s defensive injuries…
“We were playing guys that didn’t even practice on defense all week. It wasn’t like we were stopping them anyway, that situation just got crazy.”
On the emotional intensity of the game…
“I kind of warned them that it was going to happen, [Oregon] had an open week and they were fired up. Sometimes when you’re young you think that’s the way you show your intensity, but it’s not. I did a poor job of coaching them on that.”
On the taunting penalty that brought the Arizona touchdown back…
“Totally ridiculous, we should never do that. It should never ever, ever, ever happen. Lesson learned.”
On Oregon’s defense against Khalil Tate…
“I saw they had some success slowing him down. We didn’t block them well, we didn’t read them well, and they did a good job. The frustrating part is we’ll probably watch the film, and they were playing the exact way we thought they’d play, but they were better than us.”
On Justin Herbert’s play…
“He played great. I knew he was going to throw the ball down the field, he’s a big strong guy and we did not play the ball well. We have not played the ball well for a few weeks. He throws the ball up there and we are just spinning in circles and letting them catch it or letting them run by.”
