Ok. After a VERY successful week last week of deciding which Maxims the team needed to focus on, I thought I would throw five more at you.
Here goes.....
5. If the game is going against you, keep you head up set your jaw and dig in. This is what tests the stuff you are made of. - Mississippi St. will look to take control early. IF that happens, Tennessee must quickly take control and make a statement. They must not give up.
4. One good interfere (block) is worth three ball-carrying stars.- As this team battles a strong, massive line, they need to block, and block well. The backs won't get yards, and the offense won't control the game if they don't.
3. Use your eyes your hands your legs and you head.- Tennessee WILL be more athletic. They SHOULD know what winning is, and see their way to it. They MUST play smart by protecting the ball, and not committing penalties. They are first in the league in lowest penalty yards. Keep it that way.
2. A team that won't be beat can't be beat. - This is something that the team needs to remember as it goes forward. They are done playing like they "might" get beat.
1. One increasing purpose.- This may be a weekly addition. This team has a purpose, and with each win, it is increasing. One game at a time, it needs to continue.
