Mack Brown's Post-Game Press Conference After Win over UTEP

Mack Brown’s Postgame Quotes after Texas crushed UTEP, 64-7.

From TexasSports.com:

Head coach Mack Brown Opening statement: It was a dominating win. It was fun to see our guys play hard, and they played well in all three phases. When you force turnovers like that, games get out of control and you have the big kicking game plays for field position. I’m really excited about our kicking game. I think we have a chance now every time somebody kicks it to us to score, and that’s fun. We haven’t been that way since we’ve been here, really. When (UTEP) got the interception and scored, the kickoff return just kind of broke their back when we came right back. They are a better football team in my estimation than they were this time last year. We were scared coming in because if you looked at what they were doing, they were getting better each week and they played Buffalo much better this year than they did last year, they beat New Mexico State last week. We were concerned about them being able to run the ball, so I was really pleased with the way our defense stepped up and just shut everything down throughout the entire day.

Our young ones played better in the last quarter and a half than they’ve been playing before, so we’re proud of them. I’m proud of Colt (McCoy), he looks like the Colt of old. He came back and started well, even with the interception. He had a grin on his face when came over and he said, “Boy, what a great play he (UTEP DB Malcolm Stevenson) made.” I thought it was the right throw, the right place to go and the guy just made a great break on it. Instead of having bad body language and feeling bad, he said, “We’ll get him deep one of these plays.”

I’m really proud of Vondrell (McGee). He stepped up and looked in the game like what we’ve been seeing in practice. We’re proud of him. The receivers continued to get better. I just felt like overall it was a dominating win. You hate to beat somebody that badly, but the game just kind of got out of hand. I was proud of Garrett (Gilbert) when he came in. We tried to get him some actual scrimmage plays because it’ll help him, and that’s three games we’ve gotten him in where he’s gotten some work. I feel like that he did a really good job when he was in.
