Difference in Bama/AU and us... they both play with confidence and swagger and don't care who their opponent is... as good as we are, we still seem to get psyched out and are up and down emotionally too much during a game... I think bama came in to Knox and wasn't scared, played loose and confident, and that messed with our heads... I think our kids thought they'd just walk through the game like they did with Mizz and when it wasn't happening, we went cold and folded...
Barnes HAS to keep this team confident and playing with swagger... every time we do, we kick everyone's arse and can play with anyone in the country... we come out nervous and tight/cold, we get beat.
Today will be a great indicator of where this team is mentally, after Bama and Ark games... we SHOULD win by 10+, but we will see...
