Game 6 Prep: Barry Odom Press Conference
You look at the opportunity to go on the road, we’ll use it in a way that’s us versus everybody. That’s one thing most teams do when going on the road, especially in conference, and how important that is to approach it with the right mentality.
- Head Coach Barry OdomOur ability to run routes and get open, I feel like we’re challenging people in that part of our game. Every week you have to go prove it, but I feel like we’re threatening with some of the things we’re doing.
- Offensive Coordinator John HensonWe’re continuing to make things harder in practice like it’s a game so that we can hopefully see some of that carry over.
