“Frustration, … Frustration,” Corbett replied when asked what he was feeling in those quiet moments afterward. “That’s about it. We beat ourselves there. A lot of things in that game that are not winning football.
“Didn’t protect the ball, didn’t hold up in the run well enough, didn’t hold up well in the pass, and we made it hard on the defense to be able to get stops, giving them some good field position. So, overall frustration.”
And that was made more frustrating by their inability to do some of the things they normally count on.
As to the snaps, some of which appeared to crawl up on Young before he was ready to field them, Canales said it was a matter of making sure he and his quarterback were “on the same page.”
“There’s going to be looks that we know we can get up there and run fast,” Corbett said. “There’s going to be looks off the card that weren’t on film and that we had to break down, and you just got to do that faster and just get everybody on the same page as fast as we can and get the ball snapped.”
But that’s a specific example on a day of general breakdowns. When Canales walked into his postgame press conference, he also wasn’t mincing words about what he saw.
