painful losses they suffered, they know what it takes to win and IMO they don't want to risk going backwards.
Their attitude reminds me of the undefeated State Championship team I played on...the seniors...like the many we have on this ND team...set an example of commitment to winning each and every week, while the coaches exuded confidence and trust in their game planning...as the season went on, everyone just loved going to practice and anticipating the next game, even though the intensity level got very high...this team will do the same...and have just a much fun as we did.
