Yeah, I don’t think you should say 6-7. That’s such a miserable thought right now. Be positive, guys. We won a bowl game. I’m with you. But seriously, that was in our head. Again, the program is still going to do what the program is going to do moving forward. We have the right plan. We know what we’re doing. The guys know what they’re doing.
I think the biggest thing was we were sitting out there — it took five years, but I can say I’m a winner. I can finally say, I’m a winner. They’re winners in everything in life. You go out there, they keep score, and they’ve got to make plays.
Even as the game — I said three things to them yesterday. I said, number one, I want you to wake up excited. Bowl games are usually about who’s the most excited team.
Number two, watch all these games that are happening. One team gets up, another team comes back. No one wants to play 60 minutes — once they get up, they think the game is over.
I said, three, there’s going to be a time in the game where, oh, here we go, and I said, double down. Enough with the I’m nervous and just say we’re going to do this.
Even when they blocked the punt and ran it, it was a one-score game. I was like, we’re going to find a way to get it done.
I think that’s the biggest thing, is that finally, finally they can walk off the field and say we got it done.
We’ll have a lot of momentum heading into the off-season. I think we’re doing really well in recruiting right now. I think we’re finding the right guys. And I think you see with Sam’s play, you asked earlier, there’s some guys on this team who are the right guys. We’ll put the picture together really well, and I’ll let you guys have the rest of the off-season to ponder what we’ll look like next year.
I’m excited, though, about where we’re headed.
