That was just a great football game and they just kept coming and kept coming and they made a few more plays than us. I thought our guys competed really hard, proud of the effort. We didn't make enough plays and obviously the turnover at the end of the game was a critical one. We had a chance to recover it and we didn't. So again, it's one game. This one stings, but we got another one in a week."On the UVA passing attackClawson: "They've got a good quarterback, they got on the offensive line and they've got some really good receivers. They got open on us and they made plays."On if he feels the Deacs let up in the fourth quarterClawson: "No. No. I mean our guys were playing really hard. UVA's a good team too and the quarterback is a good player. We just think we blew two coverages and that's 14 points right there. We got beat down in the middle of the field once and we guessed on a route and we blew a coverage at the end."On failing to extend the lead offensively and put the game awayClawson: "We kind of went through the jugular a little bit on the double pass and that didn't work. And then we settled for a field goal and when we were up 13 instead of 17, I thought that may come back to burn us. And then just the two minute drive and we felt great about it, we hit Taylor and we had the ball on the 35 yard line and you're hoping you're going to be able to line up and kick a game winning field goal. And again, football's a game of plays and they made a play there and we didn't."On the unlikely events of <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/taylor-morin-46052713/">Taylor Morin</a> fumbling and <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/donavon-greene-46049130/">Donavon Greene</a> not falling on it instead of trying to pick it up, given they are both six-year seniorsClawson: "No reason to try to pick that up. Just get on it. And we have the football. You've seen how many times we do those drills, so obviously we didn't make the point strong enough because that we have a chance to get on that thing and if we do, it might be a different game.On Hank Bachmeier's performanceClawson: "He played really well, they moved the offense well and made good decisions and made plays with his feet."</div></body>
