USC Trojans Coach Lincoln Riley discusses missed opportunities during the game which led to a loss against Notre dame. Riley still seems optimistic about the Trojans.
00:00All right. Disappointing football game. Guys fought their tails off, had our opportunities, but just didn't, we just flat out didn't play good enough. I mean, we made some really good plays on all sides, but to have some of the missed opportunities on all sides, obviously we did not stop the run well enough defensively, offensively didn't run it good enough, and obviously missed some just golden opportunities.
00:26You know, the kickoff return obviously was a huge, huge play in the game after we had taken the lead and got the two-point conversion and had a lot of momentum there in the stadium in the second half, and you just can't do that against a good football team. And so we just, we have to own it. We just flat out did not play good enough tonight against a good team on the road and had some missed opportunities that, you know, that make you sick right now.
00:48So we'll own it, obviously get into this bye week, and then jump back into the Big Ten Conference where we've worked our ass off to put ourselves in a great position like we are now.
00:58And so that'll be the challenge of this team is to handle this, to learn from it, and we just, we flat out have to be better, and we got some really cool opportunities in front of us here, again, with the way that we've positioned ourselves in this conference.
01:11So we'll get on the bye week, get some work in, obviously get some of these guys back healthy and get ready for the stretch run.
