Team is very mentally tough & learned a lot from last year.Originally Posted by eagle95
Each game has a theme/mantra:
ScState- identity game
UMass- Blue Collar game
Clemson-Exceed the Standard
Ark State- Statement Game
South Al- Edge Game
Texas St- Juice Game (Says the Power of Paulson has been great, but that the team will have to create their own energy at these far games given that we'll have a smaller fan base traveling. Each unit needs to feed off of each other)
These help the team focus on the task at had each week, but he emphasized that the players have done a good job of flipping the switch after each game and moving on to next opponent.
He's taking experience from the short week going into App last season & using that for prep this year. Instead of focusing so much on installing new, they'll work more on improving what we've been good at so far.
Been pleased with the progress from week to week, or even improvement in 2nd half. Still need to capitalize on turnovers. Proud of the progress the OLine is making to gel as a unit. Have to make sure not to hurt ourselves with penalties.
Said he considered telling the guys to go ahead and start mentally preparing for TxSt shortly after the game, but didn't want to take the win away from them after all they went through last year, and we're going to continue to celebrate when we win.
Proud of the guys who.performed well in the "next man up" scenario with recent injuries.
Shai shared some of what he's dealt with back home & on the field and some advice from Doc Spurgeon. Said the team is hungry for more wins. He's constantly motivated because of last year and never wants to experience that again.
