I got to wondering last night after Alabama did not crack the top 4 if that will provide them even more motivation going into Saturday. Now they have something they can play the "no respect" card over.
That being said, I still think being amped up over bulletin board material or something similar only takes a team so far and after that the on field talent takes over and wins out. If we can go in there and get an early lead and shut them down early then all that other goes out the window.
They already knew if they lose this game they are out of playoff contention. It won't make that much difference. It's a must win game for them and already was.
Not a big deal- they know they are in if they win out- nothing about that changed last nite
This reminds me of some things Mullen said at his presser yesterday. When asked about the team being lethargic and low key the last three games he said he doesn't need to do anything to pump this team up for Alabama because this is the game the team has been thinking about since beating Auburn.
Guess this explains the last 3 games. We will be ready. No worries on this end.Quote:
