It really started with the amazing character of the guys next to me,”
Its he sat next to Proctor, Flagg and Kon Knueppel at the postgame news conference. “The connectivity of our team, to be able to bounce back after a tough loss and come back home and then to move on. We talk about just one game at a time. You have to move on, next play mentality, and we’ve had that.”
Mental toughness,”“It’s something you try to look for as much as you can in the recruiting process. Every coach wants it and wants to find it. But some of that’s from within and then some of that you try to build and give them as much confidence as you can.”
