What VSU has done in the past has nothing - zero - to do with what happens this weekend. In fact I think this whole streak conversation has become a bit of a distraction to the team (our last loss was two years and 1 day ago - 11/4/17 to West Alabama). I hope they'll let the public talk about it and our team just focus on playing ball.
Are we talented? Very much so (as is UWF). The winning streak doesn't matter (and we proved in our last game that we're not invincible).
I have a ton of respect for the job Shinnick has done at West Florida. I think he's a heckova fine coach (also think a lot of Kaleb Nobles on the offensive staff and know what a competitor he is).
I'm a strong believer that, for all the conversation about the skill players, games are won or lost in the trenches. Both teams are strong there. We'll find out who stands tall early in the game.
I'm nervous about this weekend. I hope we're having a good week of practice and that everyone's locked and loaded after a light week during the bye week.I hope all the bumps and bruises from the prior 8 games are healed up and our guys physically and mentally ready to play at their highest level.
I hope we can find a way to get a lead early and make UWF play from behind. That's a tall order.
We'll find out a lot about both teams and about both coaches this coming weekend.
It's a monster of a game. I wish it were Saturday already.
