Just as we did last year.
It's easy to get upset in the expectations for our team coming off a Chip and playing in front of stud recruits.
I don't think things are as bad as it seems, and I don't think we are anywhere near as polished as we believe we should be.
The obvious thing to me is playing with "let down" energy and being uninspired. We have everything to lose with a "soft" schedule and a title to defend, so it's easy for our players to get down on themselves and not play to prove themselves. I'm certain we are going to have some close calls like FSU last year. I'm just hoping we can stop the trend and find something to fight for.
