When we gave up that touchdown,
We knew coming in McCallie had a lot of motivation for this one. They`ve had 365 days to stew about last year, and McCallie is a good team. They have an excellent quarterback¡K so we knew what to expect.
I told our guys we were looking for effort and execution and that would find out where we are. Obviously we would like to win on the scoreboard, but really we just wanted to get out there against somebody else.
I know his optimism is quite good.
If we`re going to rebuild, ... let`s rebuild smart.
We`ve just got to get back to work. We`ve got two weeks before it counts for real. We just need time on the practice field to work on the little things and get them right.
It was typical of any scrimmage,
This can`t just be a cleanup, it has to be a turning point. If we build it back like it was, then we`ll be living in a fool`s paradise.
We have a long way to go, but we`re going to be OK, ... All we can do is keep working and focus on getting better each week.
McCallie is a quality team with a quality program, ... They`ve had 365 days to think about (last year?s loss), prep for it and get ready for it.
