As a fan, I prefer the underdog role. The way things stand, it will be a disappointment to not go 15-0. My head knows that's a totally unreasonable thing to expect, but everyone keeps talking about it anyway.
As for the players, that's a lot of pressure. Being the most talked about team in the country and hearing how much better everyone expects you to be than anyone else will make it easy to be complacent.
For the coaches, there's only so much noise you can keep your players from hearing. Keeping them focused for one game at a time while everyone around them is talking about postseason will be a huge challenge.
I just hope our guys work harder today than anyone else in the country. Tomorrow I'll hope the same thing. And on September 7th, we only have to focus on being better than one team.
Beat VT.
