"Personally, I thought I played terrible," right tackle Austin Shepherd said. "I kind of take responsibility for it. I don't think any of us had a good game. Probably the worst game we've played as a unit just to be straight up. I mean, I thought we were prepared. We just kind of didn't execute like we wanted to. I went back and watched it and it was kind of just one person here and there. I mean, one play I give up a sack, the next play Cam (Robinson) gives up a pressure, the next play right guard gives up pressure, just a lot of inconsistency. We just got to be more consistent." ...
Shepherd took full responsibility for the issues that group experienced. There were a few problems with technique he saw when watching the film from Fayetteville.
"For instance on my play, just the wrong set," Shepherd said. "I watched some guys wrong technique. We're in an outside zone, and they just overreached the linebacker, and the running back cuts back and the guy's in the hole. I mean, just little stuff. If we had done little things right, we would've been fine, but it just didn't happen, and we've got to fix all that." ...
Good stuff; details and specifics of play. Don't get much of that!
