Game 8 Prep: Head Coach Barry Odom Press Conference
I feel strongly about the system that is set up, and then it comes down to the focus once you get into that environment. You can try to get close in how you stage those things, but it’s never like the real thing. Everything we’re doing preparation-wise, hopefully, gives our guys the confidence going into one of the greatest environments in college football.
- Head Coach Barry Odom on playing at Beaver Stadium (106,572)You have to evaluate yourself, and it’s a good stopping point in the season being seven games in… You try to use this extra time to prepare for your next opponent and give your players the best chance to go have success.
- Offensive Coordinator John HensonWe challenged them to enjoy their time, rest and relax, but when you get back on Sunday it’s time to roll… It needs to be a gritty defense that goes out there every week... Go out and compete, and play like they know they can.
