IMO -
The game will be different next year. Meyer had his guys completely focused on the UT game this year. They put forth their best effort all season in one game. Meyer is now learning that he can't take that approach again. His team is still in hangover mode and never has been as focused. As 18-22 year olds, they put it all in one game - then can't get it back at the same level, week after week after week after week.
Next season they'll be fired up, but not to the point they were this year. They'll be looking at the season as a whole - UT is one game, not "the" game.
