(From Oregon Athletics Press Release)

 

From Acting Washington State Head Coach Jake Dickert:

 

"That’s a good football team, I give credit to Oregon. They’re tough, physical and didn’t make mistakes. We kept punching, they kept swinging back. I think we played 60 minutes of football, but just ended up coming up short.  Last year we had them on the ropes and didn’t finish in the second half, but we kept swinging. Some of the same things happened today, but at the end of the day we’re getting better. 

 

I’m disappointed with us not being able to stop the run in the fourth quarter. They did some different things; they handled our interior movement really well. At the end of the game, they just wore us down and we weren’t tackling very good."

WSU should seriously consider keeping Dickert as the HC. The kids play hard for this guy.
