I think we played pretty well. We came in, and they went three-and-out right off the bat. I think it shows you what this Texans defense is going to be like this year.
Quotes about three-and-out (10 Quotes)
We can't continue to let teams take the ball and drive it 78 yards down the field and score on the first series and then us go three-and-out on offense and give up field position right away again. Sooner or later it's going to come back to bite us in the rear end.
If we go three-and-out, fans may say this was the type of club we had all year. But I think we'll have a chance to win our first series, and if we do, people are going to forget our record. Maybe they'll say we're a team of destiny.
In the past, it was like, three-and-out and we'd be back on the field. Now, they're scoring at will, and we're back on the field. So we're kind of playing the same role, except the scoreboard keeps lighting up for us and we're getting the momentum. And momentum is big in college football.
I know when we stopped them and got a turnover, then forced a three-and-out and were still down 14-10 that there was something wrong. That scoring needs tweaking.
We've got a lot of work to do. Especially offensively. We looked great going down the field and then shot ourselves in the foot several times in a row and then we're three-and-out and done.
I'm not as concerned as they should be in Baltimore. We had one three-and-out in the first half and three or four in the second (half). They had 11. That is a credit to our defense.
They were trying to give them some offensive points. Our defensive is always going to stop them three-and-out, and if the fans look up at the scoreboard they can't see that the offense didn't put up any points
For one, we were putting (our defensive) guys in bad field position. And another thing, we weren't giving them any breaks. Those guys need to be able to go on the sidelines, catch their breath and regroup. When the offense is going three-and-out, it's like (the defense) has hardly been off the field.
We knew we needed a three-and-out. If we didn't get a three-and-out, we lose the game. So, the guys just rallied. I know I was blitzing every play because I knew they were going to run it. I told Roderick (Rogers, the UW free safety) to check the tight end - I've got that responsibility - in case they ran a bootleg or something else, because I was just flying into the gap and trying to make a tackle.
