The players seem focused on getting the win against an SEC opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like we are sitting around doing nothing. We will also add some plays and who know play even better than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too complicated that requires a lot of new things to remember, clever twists on the tried and true. And I hope we game plan for their O.

All these new wrinkles could translate to confusion or an unfocused approach for a team of twenty year-olds. But I think they'll overcome it and stick it to SC.

Do players really think that deep? It seems to me that coaching is a job - and as such - one post season game of marginal consequence to fill in three hours of TV programming is probably not going to weigh heavily at review time. Assume you're on the losing team...do those players collectively say "Aw shucks guys, we really let coach Schmoe down...now he's probably gonna be fired because we lost by three". I dunno how much players really think in terms of "If we don't perform, coach is gone". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
