Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris critiques execution after Houston loss

Oklahoma State head coach Eric Morris addressed the team's recent 35-32 loss to Houston, noting that missed assignments and penalties prevented a victory. Morris stated that the coaching staff used game film to demonstrate how the team frequently functioned as if they were “playing with 10 people” due to individual players failing to execute their specific roles.

Morris emphasized that mistakes were distributed across various positions rather than being limited to a single unit. He highlighted that missed blocks, failed routes, and defensive lapses all contributed to the outcome. Additionally, the coach expressed frustration regarding the team's second-half discipline, citing penalties resulting from both poor technique and selfish decisions.

Looking ahead to the upcoming homecoming matchup against Colorado, Morris indicated he is evaluating his own coaching decisions, including a field goal attempt during the Houston game, while working to ensure players focus on collective improvement rather than assigning blame.
