I talk, of course, of winning 10 regular season games. We have never done that in our program's history. Now we are almost guaranteed a 10 win regular season and if we do that everybody reading this would be disappointed. To me that is simply amazing. I know back in August if you had asked me if you would take a 10-2 regular season and a top level bowl game I would have been all over it as I suspect many of you would have been too. Now on November 10 if offered a 10-2 season I would decline the offer. I want 12-0 and I know we have the team that can pull that off. Just got to take what's ours.
I saw in the ESPN SEC blog that our players all have different takes on it. From just another game to saying they have jitters just thinking about it. Hopefully, Mullen and the staff can channel and focus that emotion. We don't need to come out with our eyes as big as saucers like a tourist his first time in NYC and be intimidated by the uniform the other team is wearing. We did it against LSU and now we need to do it again. The only thing is the stakes in the LSU game were not anywhere near what they are in this game. This is now the biggest game in our program's history.
