Folks, this is a huge game this week, and I'm so excited that I can't go to bed, and thus am awake at mid-night thinking up questions about how this game will go.
My biggest question/concern for this week's game is what our team's mentality will be...
Against LSU, having not won there in forever, our team walked into that stadium with a chip on their shoulder and an "us against the world" attitude. However, after a week of getting praised by the national media, being patted on the back by people around campus, now being favored by one point in the game, and playing in front of packed house at home, I am curious if our team will still have the underdog, us against the world attitude, or if they will think they've made it now and that Texas A&M, who by the way is ranked higher than us, will just roll over and let us win.
We will learn a lot about our team this week. The leadership of this team must step up and demand from everyone that we must play with a chip on our shoulder and with the "us against the world" attitude.
I am optimistic because Dak Prescott and his leadership will be playing for us on Saturday, but there is little room error in this department. We must bring our "A" game and have that physical, us against the world attitude, or we will get beat.
If we show up with the similar mentality that we had at LSU, we will win this football game, but, with an 11:00 morning kickoff, everyone thinking we are awesome, and talking about making the playoffs, I'm a little concerned.
The attention to detail must be at an all-time high this week for our football team.
Resident football experts, Coach, 57, and others, as a coach, how would you handle the team this week to make sure they had the right mentality on Saturday?
What say you?
