Last year's team neither overachieved nor underachieved, and so you couldn't feel bad for the guys. They sure had a great defense, but they didn't deserve to win. This year, the Lions deserve to win. They've been in every single game, had a chance to win them all. It's nice to have a chance at the national championship, but almost doesn't mean anything.
Sad thing is, the players are getting used to that.
We gave everything we had, and we didn't say anything different. In a bad way, we're getting used to it. It's the same crazy thing. The Lions will still see sunshine in December, have no doubt. Only it may be in Texas this year.
