"Obviously, wrapping up, not a whole lot different than my thoughts after the game. A disappointing loss."

"When you go back and watch the film, offensively, we struggled in the passing game. … It starts with us. We have to find some better ways to get our kids open."

"It looked like his feet never got settled and that some of the residue of what happened in the past affected him. He had cleaner pockets than maybe he felt like."

"He's confident in the corrections that he needs to make. … It certainly isn't all on him."

"Defensively, for most of the game, we played the way we wanted to, but there were two critical situations where we didn't play our game."

"Second-and-off-schedule is probably the one down and distance that we struggled with the most."

"Hats off the Notre Dame. They made the plays to win it, and we didn't. Now, we have to go back to work and close that gap."

"R.C. Slocum is a distinguished alumnus of McNeese State. TexAgs' Ryan Brauninger is an alum -- I won't say distinguished -- of McNeese State."

"Defensively, they've been really good through two games. They're very similar, structure-wise, to what we do and the way we play."

"Certainly some pieces on their roster that we need to respect and prepare for, but at the end of the day, just like last week, it's going to be about us and playing to our standard."

"I don't know. I'm a football coach. We lost."

"We made some strides and improvements on the offensive line. … We didn't give up any balls over our head in the secondary."

"When you talk about separation, that's not just on the wide receiver. Some of it is the routes we're calling. … It's making sure we call the right routes against the right leverages."

"Terry (Bussey) is a talented kid. We're getting him going at the best of our abilities."

"I don't know if Le'Veon Moss was struggling that we'd pull him out of the game. I don't know if Noah Thomas was struggling to get open and make catches that we'd pull him out of the game."

"We have a memory bank of reps. You and the fans have seen 70."

Conner (Weigman) got hit in the gut and puked. Other than that, I don't think we had any one down."

"As we get into the OL, I'll give you one injury report; Mark Nabou Jr. is, unfortunately, going to be out for the rest of the year."

"We can control the line of scrimmage better with our front. I don't think we got pushed around or pushed them around to the level that we're capable of."

"Most of the explosive runs happened because of poor leverage in the third level, and we have to get that cleaned up fast."

"He's going to respond great. He's a competitor. He's a winner. The kids are confident in him. I'm confident in him."

"We've got to be more multiple in how we attack people. Part of that is trusting the protection. Some of that is putting the ball where it's supposed to go. Some of that is us being better schematically."

"If 150 people in our organization all look in the mirror and see the areas they can improve this thing and we get 150 people better next weekend, we'll be on the course we want to be on."

"If 150 people point the finger, then we'll see no progress."

"It's the same mindset of we're not where we want to be, so we'll continue to work and continue to strain to get where we want to go."

It's an impact because Mark is a really good football player, but it's football, and injuries happen. The next guy has to step up and go play."

"We were sitting on that one for a long time. That was something that was really important to this fan base and something that was really important to Kyle Field. When we had the change in leadership at the athletic department, that's something we felt like we could bring back."

"New era, new feel. I feel like you can dress up Kyle Field at times."
