Anyone who has played ball knows- the best position is the under dog position. We got SDSUs best last night and that only got them a 17-3 loss(with a nice paycheck). In my mind, we were not lucky it was SDSU, but unlucky that they were even on the schedule. Anyone who has been on a good team knows how hard it is to get up for a game that has no real implications/below average opponent. Don't get me wrong SDSU fans, your team has my respect.
I have to admit- I am a little surprised that the kids came out with no intensity at home and as my old ball coach used to say, "you guys were just going through the motions out there- Your playing with them!". It is especially surprising from this staff, that usually always has the kids focused. The announcers on TV were saying the coaching staff made the game plan especially complex this week to try and get the kids to focus a little harder. Perhaps this was our downfall. I think everyone understands that we had to try some different passing looks, but I think a lot of us thought we would be doing this after a 28-0 lead.
