Oklahoma State loss to Texas Tech down in Lubbock on Saturday, 42-0. With the loss, the Pokes fell to 1-7 on the season and 0-5 in Big 12 play.
Interim head coach Doug Meacham and interim defensive coordinator Clint Bowen met with the media following the game.
“You’ve got to take your mind off the scoreboard and just play the next play,” said Meacham. “Don’t play the scoreboard, just play the game. Sometimes what occurs there, all of a sudden you look up and it’s 13-7. And then it’s 13-10, like, ‘OK.’ If you just focus on the scoreboard and the score the whole time, ‘Hey, we’re down like that,’ (snaps fingers) I don’t know if that helps you at all. You just gotta focus on the next series, the next drive, the next play, the next assignment, the next whatever. And sometimes that’s hard to do, but that’s what you have to do. Is that what you want to occur coming into a nationally-ranked team’s house on the road and spotting them 13 from the jump? No. But at that point you’ve just got to hunker down and play the next one.”
