Mark Stoops brought plenty of positivity to today’s press conference. “It was really nice to see us play well in all three phases.” Stoops added, “I felt like we made some big gains and we need to continue to do that.”
The biggest gains came on the defensive side of the ball. They didn’t schematically change what they’ve been doing all season. Previously, they were missing the little things, but on Saturday, they finally put it all together.
“There was better technique. There was better effort. We executed our assignments much better.” Stoops’ coach-speak might not translate very well, so he broke it down even further.
