board chance drawing football game leaves time
Every time I look at that, it kind of leaves a knot in my stomach. It was an unbelievable football game and we had a chance to win, but didn't get it done. So we have to go back to the drawing board and see if we can do it this year.
believe bit breeds care confidence felt goes level main mindset self-esteem success team time tried trust
Any time a team goes 1-10, their confidence and self-esteem is low, ... You really have to get that back up and believe in one another. That was the main thing. We just tried to take care of that in-house and get our mindset a little bit better to where they felt like they had a trust level that they could play through anything. Then a little bit of success breeds more success and goes from there.

I want to give BYU a lot of credit. Their offense did a good job of spreading the field. They played very well and they have a physical defense.
