After the game, left guard Kevin Pendleton said Lock shouldn’t be criticized for the offense’s rough outing. Pendleton’s voice cracked as he explained that the offensive line, and he in particular, was to blame.
“When he struggles, it’s because of (the offensive line),” Pendleton said. “I gave up a sack, a strip fumble, but the people in the crowd are going to say, ‘Oh, he lost the ball, he folded under pressure.’ It’s bull, because it comes down to guys like me, guys like Paul Adams, guys like Trystan Colon-Castillo, that have played so much ball. ... I didn’t play well enough tonight, and I gotta get better.
“He’s going to go through hell this week,” Pendleton continued. “I’m going to see a report about how he’s falling on draft boards and scouts don’t like him under pressure and all this bull just because I didn’t do my job.”
