"My discussion was because of information," Patterson said. "You're in the heat of the battle … and I had talked to the young man. You know, because of privacy laws, you can't really talk about those kind of things, but … um, you know, I didn't get any information and I was trying to find out cause I had talked to the young man and even out on the field and, and so uh… finally I got and then I was OK.

"I was just trying to find out. It wasn't so much about whether he played or not, because he was told he had a concussion, so he was out. But you know, I was just trying to find out information about what was going on."

More by Patterson:

"You know, it's well documented: I'm awfully intense on the sidelines, so uh … you know, everything else is fine. Our doc's a great guy and did everything appropriately on the sidelines to make sure the young man was taken care of, which we've always done here at TCU."
