WATCH: Syracuse coach reacts to Clemson's comeback win |
Syracuse head coach Dino Babers discussed this team's loss to Clemson on Saturday afternoon.
On the game as a whole:
“It was a big contest, it was a big game. They came back with a backup quarterback and found a way to win that football game at home. That’s a good football team over there, and good coaches over there.”
On deserving to win:
“I don’t know if we would have deserved to win if we’d won. We didn’t. It’s a loss in the loss column, and we have to move on.”
On not using two timeouts:
“It had nothing to do with the use. We had to see what was going on, whether they were trying to score a field goal or whether they would try and score a touchdown. If I had used those timeouts, and they had gone on down to the end and scored with one second left and I used the timeouts, you’d be asking me the other questions.”
On his defense’s energy:
“I feel like everybody was tired out there, their defense and our defense. There weren’t a lot of plays, but it was a lot of effort. If you watched their shoulder pads in between the series, they were rising. Both teams were extremely tired. Both teams put in a lot of effort.”
