"We practiced calling in plays," Orgeron said. "And in fact, because we had two new coordinators, our team periods were mostly scripted. In camp we went one team period scripted, one team period not. We let them call plays. We worked on taking the field with 25 seconds less, that's called the winning edge. So most of those things have been worked on."

"Here's the thing, I need to take the responsibility for that," Orgeron said. "I talked to the offense and will continue to talk to them about the things we need to get fixed. There are some things that are very fixable. We just need to settle down. Mostly just call the play and let it go. And not try to change the play. I think that's when we are having problems. It's not that the guys are not working or trying. But they might be trying a little too hard. We need to simplify what we are doing on offense and let our players play."

"First of all, obviously the play clock.. when we do it, we have to give them enough time. The times that we had to call a timeout, there wasn't enough time so we shouldn't have tried to change the play. And I'm going to say this again, I'm fully responsible for that. I want to make that clear. And we are going to get that fixed."
