EUGENE – Oregon beat Montana 35-3 at Autzen Stadium on Saturday.
Below is a transcript of the post-press conference of Montana coach Bobby Hauck.
Bobby Hauck, Montana head coach
Opening statement …
"I'm disappointed that we did not come here to win. They have a very good football team. They were better at defense than I thought. They have a very good team and the quarterback is just great. We just do not have enough for them tonight.
On the defense of Oregon …
"It was really in all areas. They covered us and played the ground game very well. We knew that the nose was good. I thought their other defensive linemen played a little better than I thought. They have good players. "
On Montana's defensive effort …
"I thought we played hard. We dropped out of this 60-yard race at the end because our first year students can not do their job properly. But most of the time, when our non-first-year students were present, we were pretty much aware of their mission. I thought we covered the run pretty well. They had guys doing games. They had the road to a wheel in the red zone where we destroyed the cover, and it was a pity. They were assisted by a late key stroke. It was close with which I had no problem … neither of them, the call or the hit. The interference call of the pass was given and taken on the first disc. We sort of stopped them. We played well.
By giving up a touchdown on the last drive of the first half …
"We missed the goal of the field and it's on me. We had to reach the 30 (yard line) to launch that. It was the plan after the pre-game warm-up. It was on the 37 and it's a shame that I did not take fourth place. We had them at hand for a 12-yard loss at 10 seconds from the end, and then we lost their man-man coverage. Instead of being 14-0 at the half, it's 21-0, we found ourselves a little stronger. I would have felt better in arena 14. In retrospect, we had not finished driving, so that might not have been important, but maybe that would be the case. Things tighten when it's a little closer. "
On the Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert …
"He's an excellent kid, first of all. He's just awesome. He must have something good with him … his father went to Montana for two years. Mark was in Montana when we were there. I think he was a sophomore when I was a freshman. He is a good player. I had a lot of esteem for him before the game. I just think it's a good operator. "
On what he can draw from this game before playing the conference …
"We have to get better. We have lost. We came here to win and we did not do it. "
Prepare the offensive line of Oregon …
"They are really good. I think all five are potentially NFL players. Many of them already have high marks. I know it by talking to some NFL guys. I was afraid that they would make us fall and that they would not do it, so we probably made some progress with all those young D line players we faced today. "
On the linebacker Montana Dante Olson …
"I'm going to have to watch the movie but I thought Dante – like the rest of our kids in defense – was playing really hard."
On Wide Montana receivers …
"We won twice (at the far end) and we managed to miss a pass when we were in the red zone. It was open and it was a shame that the scrum hit the line of scrimmage, but we won on the outside and we won in the slot, but not regularly enough. I can not stay here and say we did a great job. We scored three points. "
