Football is a game where motivation and effort are extreme indicators of success. The message the staff needs to send is we are on a mission and that mission is against a nameless and faceless opponent. CKW blitzing 7 with 22 seconds to go is a good indicator that we aren't in the mindset of playing it safe. CKW sending the 1's back on the field to get a goal line stand against Mizzou to ensure a shut out is a good indicator that we aren't playing it safe. Football is a game where injuries are inevitable. More times than not when you play to not get injured, that is when you get injured. I fully expect the players and coaches to show up to this game like any other game. Everyone who is capable of playing will play. Everyone is expected to dominate their man, assignment, and execute. If and when the dogs need to be called off, they will. Until that time comes we can't afford to take a step back!
