WACO –– Here are the highlights from Texas’ postgame press conferences after the Longhorns’ 24-10 loss to No. 14 Baylor:

Texas coach Tom Herman

On the loss and preparing for senior day

“In the first half I thought we played good enough defense to be in the game. Obviously there in the fourth quarter to lose our composure is ridiculous, unacceptable and will be dealt with punitively. I can assure everybody of that. We wish Baylor the best in the conference championship game. They’ve got a special season going. You can tell there’s a lot of chemistry on that team. I told our team, ‘We’ve got one game left in DKR for these seniors. I’ll be damned if any of us throw in the towel, because those guys deserve much more. For everything they’ve done for this program since we’ve gotten here, they deserve and have earned the right to have a very memorable senior day.’”

On slamming his head into Malcolm Roach’s helmet before the game

“I used to do that as a coordinator at Ohio State, as a head coach at Houston. In my old age, I’d kind of stopped doing it a little bit. I just felt it inside me in this game because I knew that we had to play physical, we had to play with strain. Just felt like the young coach Herman, I guess.”

On if offensive lineman Parker Braun was ejected

“No, it was really weird. Obviously he’ll be dealt with from a punitive standpoint. Nobody talks to the refs except for me and that’s been made clear throughout our time here. We thought he was (ejected). Originally what the referee then told us when I had a chance talk to him was ‘No, I just wanted him out for one play,’ which I’ve never really seen before to be quite honest with you. He cleared it up with me, and obviously we weren’t going to put him back in after doing what he did.

Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger

On why the offense has regressed so much

“Like I said last week, If I knew what it was, I’d fix it and never let it happen again. I don’t know.”

On the lack of offense under Herman

“That is not my position to comment on. I have full trust, love and confidence in every single coach because they are at the University of Texas.”

On his emotions after the loss

“There’s a lot of emotions. I certainly didn’t expect it to be this way.”

On competing against former Laker Travis QB Charlie Brewer

“Hats off to Charlie and his team. He’s continuing to play at an exceptionally high level and he has for his whole career. Being able to compete against him has been great. He’s an incredible quarterback as well as friend. My hat’s off to him and his team.”

Texas defensive end Malcolm Roach

On why this loss hurts so much

“I’m like this after every game. It’s a feeling that I’ll never get used to. It’s a feeling this team will never get used to. We’ll never get comfortable with this feeling at all. That’s one thing why it eats you up every time, you have this feeling. It’s not comfortable. It’s not something you want. We put in so much work (in the) winter (and) summer for 12 of these guarantees. When you win them you’re on top of the world. When you lose them you feel like you hit rock bottom because you put in so much work everyday. That’s the reason we feel like this after every loss, because we put so much into it and when it don’t go your way it’s just hard to swallow.”

On if he needs more guys to show their emotions

Those guys do show their emotions. We got guys in that locker room right now that are hurting more than me. Every Saturday we step on that field, we play with that emotion. Everybody is not the same, but I know this: Everybody is hurting from this because we’ve been together for so long and we do so much together. Everybody is hurting right now. It’s not just one person feeling bad. It’s everybody.
