I hope this team understands what it takes

  • "In the first team meeting after last season's 38-37 Rose Bowl win over Michigan, Young set a tone for the future. The mood was loud and light when he walked to the front of the room. Like a father setting sons right, he made everyone sit up, take their hats off and listen to what the coaches had to say. The Rose Bowl was big but just a beginning, Young told them. "I won't accept what's good right now," he remembers saying. "I want us to achieve greatness." He continued to challenge his teammates over the summer, with a note on the locker room bulletin board: "If you want to beat Ohio State, meet me here every night at 7 p.m. for seven-on-seven." The turnout was faithful and focused. Many nights saw full 11-on-11 scrimmages."

    "I've heard some of our fans say, 'We were always an SEC school. We just didn't know it," athletic director Bill Byrne said.

  • I don't really expect David Ash to channel his inner Vince Young this season. But if Mason Walters channels his inner Kasey Studdard, that should go a long way.

    Impossible. He hasn't even been named the starter yet.
