I coached for 25+ years and would still be coaching if I didn't have a terminal illness. You hope you get to coach this type of team several times in your lifetime. This team can and will play with anyone. At La Tech we got down 9 pts and weren't playing good at all. All of a sudden Simmons blocked a punt and the rest is history. Every facet of the team turned it up and said, "that's it we aren't fooling around anymore", and they didn't. You hear coaches talk about QB's having that "it factor", well this Bulldog team has it. This football team from an athletic perspective looks great and plays faster than any MSU team I've seen that I can remember. And we also are very talented. I'm going to enjoy the ride because things feel different surrounding this program and its going to be magical.
