“I woke up this morning and didn’t feel good with it, honestly,” Gannon said via Espn. “I just told that [the team]I let the kind of moment of what happened get better off me there. Obviously, I’m trying to be emotionally stable and calm because my job is to solve problems during a game and lead the charge on it. So it’s not really who I am, who I want to be and I told guys it today.
“So it’s a mistake of me, and it’s like everyone in there, everyone made some kind of mistake yesterday, which culminates with why we didn’t win the game and we can’t let it happen forward.”
