Just got to finish. The last play we didn't. We have to give Baylor credit.</p><p> </p><p><em>On the last drive:</em></p><p>"Yeah we got beat. It's a good football team. We fought. We beat Texas which is the 16th ranked team, we can play with the 12th best team. We can play with anybody. They got to finish. Simple."</p><p> </p><p><em>On QB <a href="https://gofrogs.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5803" target="_blank">Max Duggan's</a> play:</em></p><p>"Good. We had a chance to win. The only thing he probably didn't do was he threw back across his body on the one interception and gave them an opportunity down there. But outside of that, I thought he played a good ballgame."</p><p> </p><p><em>On keeping players positive:</em></p><p>"They're good. That's what I told them downstairs, that I'm proud of them. Again, we're not finished. I'm interested to see the holding call, to be honest with you. You're in overtime. You're on the 8-yard line. And there's a holding call."</p><p> </p><p><em>On Duggan's late run:</em></p><p>"You know, if you want to build a program, you want to build a program with somebody that has an attitude. He's not making all the plays we wanted him to make, but the bottom line is, the essential things, the ground, the foundation is unbelievable."</p><p> </p><p><em>On what Duggan can learn from close games: </em></p><p>"Andy Dalton did the same thing. And he went in the first or second round of the draft. He went 75. And Max is throwing less picks. Number one you have to learn, that you hate to lose more than you love to win. When you do that, not just Max, but anybody on the team, then you understand why you got to practice every day. You understand what you work hard for and you understand why you try to finish. You do that you have a chance."</p><p> </p><p><em>On Baylor's effort:</em></p><p>"That was two good defenses on our field today. And two good offenses. You're going to find out who could make one more play. Simple as that. And they ended up making one more play. Simple as that. I mean, that's the storyline as far as I'm concerned."</p><p> </p><p><strong>TCU Cornerback <a href="https://gofrogs.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5736" target="_blank">Jeff Gladney</a> </strong></p><p> </p><p><em>On the close game:</em></p><p>"We talk about it every week, there's four to five plays and we just got to make those plays."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the physical level of the game:</em></p><p>"It's very physical definitely when we play Baylor. It's always a physical game."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the bounce back after the loss</em>:</p><p>"We just got to stick together. Like I said, there's four to five plays a game, and we just have to make those plays to win a game."</p><p> </p><p><em>On T. Hunt's catch:</em></p><p>"That was a great catch."</p><p></p><p><strong>TCU Offensive Guard Cordel Iwaugwu</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>On the loss</em>:</p><p>"It was pretty disappointing honestly. It was so close, everybody was crying, and it hurt my heart, especially as a senior. I wanted to put the team on my back, but I couldn't so it really hurt my heart."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the one-yard</em>:</p><p>"Honestly we have to do better, there's no excuse we got to do that."</p><p> </p><p><em>On finishing strong</em>:</p><p>"I feel like we were really close, we just gotta take that one little step that we hesitate to take it every time we get close. Its really weird, but we can do it."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the physical level:</em></p><p>"It was really physical. Upfront, we tried to match their physicality and I thought we did a good job just not enough to win it."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the two-point conversion</em>:</p><p>"Most definitely, we played to win it.

A lot of credit to TCU. I thought they came ready to play. They had a great plan. I thought our defense did a great job keeping us in the game. The offense struggled early, obviously, but they made some plays at the end of the game to go win it. Some guys stepped up when we needed them, but as always, Charlie (Brewer) was outstanding both running and throwing the football. I'm really proud of our guys, I mean, John Mayers making that kick, he probably hasn't even made a lot of 51-yarders in practice. We are going to hear all week what we are not, but let's talk about what we are. Hard-nosed, resilient guys, that go out and compete. A lot of teams would have lost that game, but I am proud of my guys for winning that one."</p><p> </p><p><em>On the offense:</em></p><p>"A lot of the defensive guys were frustrated with the offense at half. As a coaching staff we said let's be aggressive. Let's push the ball downfield. We tried to do that in the first half, but their corners were making great plays. In the end our receivers made enough plays to win the game. Games aren't won in the first or second quarter, they are won in the second half. We had a hard time with the crowd noise, but our guys didn't panic. Our guys appreciate the battle because we know that is what football is like."</p><p> </p><p><strong>Baylor Quarterback Charlie Brewer</strong></p><p> </p><p><em>On the offense changes in overtime:</em></p><p>"We executed better than we had earlier. That's something we have to get corrected. Luckily, we were able to come away with a win, but we could have done a lot more to prevent how close it was. A win is a win and anytime you can go on the road and win in November it's pretty big. On to Oklahoma now.</p><p> </p><p><em>On Mims' overtime performance:</em></p><p>"He is a big-time player.

We were put in good positions, but we couldn't click.

We didn't know what happened. We thought it was a touchdown, so we were trying to get our defense ready for a two-point conversion.
