AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas coach Charlie Strong vowed he will make changes on defense during the Longhorns' bye week after a 50-43 loss at Cal on Saturday night.

Strong said he and his coaches are to blame for Cal's 50-point, 504-yard performance. He did not say whether the changes he's planning involve defensive coordinator Vance Bedford, but Strong did vow he will get more involved in preparing Texas' defense going forward.

"The defense will get fixed," Strong said. "I can tell you that. It will get fixed. Whatever I need to do to get it fixed, it's gonna happen."

Texas has the week off before beginning Big 12 play on Oct. 1 at Oklahoma State. The 50 points Cal scored matched the most Strong's defense had allowed in his 28 games at Texas. Texas' defense also gave up 43 points in a double-overtime win over Notre Dame to open the season.

Cal quarterback Davis Webb threw for 396 yards and four touchdowns and hit eight passes of 20 or more yards. Strong said he and his coaching staff are responsible for not doing a better job of putting their players in a position to succeed.

"It goes back to accountability. I told our coaches you're a direct reflection of your position," Strong said. "I expect each and every week when we go out to compete that coaches are held accountable, just like I'm held accountable for how this team goes out and performs. We need to coach better, coach harder and be a lot smarter."

When asked whether he's taking over defensive playcalling, Strong replied: "We've got two weeks to look at it."

Texas' defensive players say they believe the chief problem against Cal was their own communication issues. Safety Dylan Haines said Bedford doesn't deserve blame for the loss.

"I've been coached under Coach Bedford for three years. I think he's doing a great job," Haines said. "Coach Strong, he's the head coach, if he wants to get more involved, he has the right to do that. We all trust all the coaches, and they know what's best for us. We have complete trust in all of them."
