“We had no control,” Stoops said. “At no time did we feel good in any aspect of what we were doing. Pressures weren’t good enough. Coverage wasn’t good enough. Making them pull it down and run wasn’t good enough. There was nothing good.
“We won. Our offense did an incredible job to help us but it hurts when you don’t hold up your end of the deal in any game. We’ve got to look at a lot of things. It’s like I said. It’s unacceptable at so many levels, I can’t even begin to try to define it to you all.”
