nor did we have the right scheme to defend Santa Clara, nor the right offensive approach. The effort was minimal, and not intense enough from the get go. And I'd say that is on the players as much as the staff. Pope's teams sometimes can't come out of the gate with the high intensity they need to win.

but after watching Texas tech and Texas, good players still need to make the play. And in that game, they often didn't make the play, and I"m not talking the contested plays.
