Competed? You call getting down 24-0 by halftime, and trailing 38-0 before we finally scored a single point against UT's 3rd and 4th string players COMPETING?? Have you lost your mind, coach? Competing is what you and your team did against South Carolina (lost 17-16) and Arkansas (lost 21-20)."I was proud of our team and the way that they prepared and competed. I thought they belonged on that field." --LA Tech Coach Skip Holtz
What your team did against Texas was the exact OPPOSITE of competing.

My bad. I thought by posting the direct links they would work without password.

Actually, this will take you to the CUSA Box page. Find the Football folder, open that, and you will find the the Tech videos. I assume all of CUSA's press conferences are there as well.
Holtz = SOS. We knew he would bring the insincere post game BS. Did he also mentioned how good special-teams did?
See, I think it's totally sincere.
Thanks for this. I just watched Holtz's post game interview. A couple of take-a-way's:My bad. I thought by posting the direct links they would work without password.

1) Holtz seems to be as disgusted with Bailey Hale's performance as the rest of us. He brought it up on two separate occasions, and said he believes its inexplicable.
2) Holtz made one good point about J'Mar that I hadn't considered: J'Mar threw 54 passes for 340 yds against a Top 10 team, and only took one sack. That's a very good performance by the QB and our OL. And the receivers played well.
The failures in this game revolved around, 1) special teams, which were awful again, and 2) Tech's lack of a red zone offense. It's not that the team can't move the football...they can. They just can't score. From that perspective, nothing has changed. Holtz has simply got to figure out a way to spread the field in the red zone, and get the RB's --and the QB-- to be more successful running inside the 30 yd line. Personally, I'm starting to think we have a serious problem at RB.
That's what I thought looking at the stat sheet. That said, when I watched the replay, I didn't think that was the case. UT's front four were big, strong, and fast. It's the last part that I think our OL struggled with. We've got mountains at Tackle, but they couldn't keep up with UT's speed. On top of that, UT was sending 5 on every play from all different places. I thought Tucker and Dancy played pretty well. I'll be interested to see what they do against the rest of our schedule. That said, quick passes to Graham, Stanley, Hebert, and Smoke Harris are incredibly hard to defend. Smoke in the open field is very dangerous. Spreading it out to those guys SHOULD soften up the middle.

The delay hand off is the enemy's friend when Holtz is the General.
For the life of me I don’t understand that play in that situation with a QB that’s going to keep it maybe 2% of the time. Until we get a package that we can run out of and throw, we won’t have a red zone offense. Teams know that we can’t run it, so we’ve got one arm behind our back. The only way we score is (a) playing a team that’s overmatched (b) a busted defensive assignment or (c) a play for a long gain that results in a score.
Holtz, maybe look back at 2012 when we used the diamond formation for that very thing. Seemed to work great, and not a single team we played could stop it.

The first 5 scores all from the diamond formation. Two running and three passing I believe. In my opinion, it was and is the perfect red zone offense, because it’s balanced, and it’s very easy to run misdirection from, and at least one of your WR will be 1:1 on the corners. Plus you can legitimately play action out of it.
Hot damn -- that was one helluva game.
Wow. This makes sad just watching this. To see how much the crowds were into the game the WHOLE game. Even when we got down early very similar to UT, you knew we were never out of the game.
The offense was fun and exciting. Cameron, Patton, and Dixon were a special crew.
Anyone who thinks we are doing good now should go back and watch this. This was Tech football. Not the crappy delayed handoff for minus 3 yards.
We used to be dangerous anytime we got the ball against ANY opponent.
