At the postgame press conference head coach Steve Sarkisian took ownership for the loss and the team’s inability to execute plays while keeping a steadfast resolve saying, “We create our own opportunity through hard work and that’s what we’re going to do. I don’t know any other way to do it than that, and so, you know we don’t have time for feeling sorry for ourselves. This has been a long month of some grueling losses as we all know, and our guys continue to come back and fight back.”
