He’s not a great defensive player. We’ll tire him out. We won’t stop him. We’ll outscore him. This game can put us right back where we belong, with the best teams in the country. Look inside yourselves and ask, Do I really want it? If you do, laddies, the goose hangs high. Now let’s have the prayer.”
