“Again, it’s like that every week. It’s just brutal. It’s hard. It’s tough. It’s a tough league. We have to man up. Bottom line. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Our players know that and they got to get back to work and we have to do a better job,” Stoops said after the Auburn loss.
“I told them in there, it’s on me. And I’ve got to do a better job. We’ve got to get them in a better position to play better. We just all have to do a better job. Obviously, it starts with me and I know people get tired of hearing that but we are not playing winning football right now.”
Cornerback JQ Hardaway had seven solo tackles and an interception against Auburn. He knows there is only one way to bounce back
“Look at yourself in the mirror. Find out what you can do better, because everybody can do something. Don’t just try to point your finger to the next guy,” Hardaway said. “I’m saying just stand, stay in a hole. It is rowdy. It is, you know, not going our way, but if we all just continue to go to work and believe in each other I believe positive things will come.”
