WACO, Texas — Mike Gundy failed to win a college football game in Waco in the 2010s after falling to Baylor 35-31 on Saturday as an 8-point favorite. That is of course disappointing, and he (and others) talked about their fourth loss in nine games in what was a fairly somber postgame interview session with the media. Here are a few of the best quotes from the Pokes.

Mike Gundy on Penalties

“But I’m really disappointed in being undisciplined with all the personal fouls, the face mask, chop block, late hit. Those are things that shouldn’t happen.

“It’s a big factor in our losses. What worries me, or not worries me; what disappoints me is we talk about it every single day, every practice, every meeting, and I talk about it twice before we go on the field, once in the hotel and once in the locker room. But that’s not getting it done for some reason.

“We are going to have to come up with some plan to where we can get our guys to be a little more disciplined on some of those penalties, because that’s a huge factor in these close losses.”

Justin Phillips on 12 Penalties for 133 Yards

“I think we need to be more disciplined in all parts of the games. Those extended the drives and kept them on the field longer, helping them score. We will go back and look at what happened. Right now, we just need to be more disciplined.”

Taylor Cornelius on the Fourth Down Call

“We were executing so well during that drive and the drive before that we thought that we were better than them, we could get those three yards. Obviously hindsight is 20-20 but if we get that, everyone would talk about how great a call that was.”

Mike Yurcich on the OL

“Josh [Henson] has a real good feel for (rotations). He’s doing a good job. One, trying to keep guys fresh. You’d like your offensive line to get some rhythm. You don’t want to pull a guy who’s doing well. At the same time you want to change it up and keep them fresh. He’s got a real good feel for that, and he subs those guys on his own. Doing a great job with it.”

Tylan Wallace on Career Development

“I’ve learned the speed of the game and the actual offense, the concept of the plays. Not just knowing what I have but knowing everybody else has and what we’re trying to execute on the field. That’s one thing I’ve really learned.”

Jim Knowles on A.J. Green

“Just trying to build back his confidence. He had a great game last week against some of the best receivers in the country. It’s not just him. It’s a team game. Have to build back up his confidence. It’s been two steps forward, one step back. It’s been tough going, tough season. All you can do is move on and try to move your guys back up. Show him the good plays he had and say, ‘Hey man you can play this game, you had a bad day.'”
