made an impact on Jason, and I think Jason is going to end up leaving an impact with the young guys that we've got in our program now, leaving a legacy that guys say, well, this is how Jason did it when he was here. Is there any challenge to keeping your guys from getting caught up in all the outside hype about this game? No. … That's why we have the approach that we have. Our approach is consistent. Each week the game we're playing is the most important game that we have. I guess what I don't understand is, are we supposed to prepare harder this week than we did last week? If we didn't play well, and I said, well, yeah, we didn't prepare as hard this week because we've got this game next week that's a big game, I don't get it. I never makes sense to me, and peo- ple get frustrated with it and all that kind of stuff. But we are going to control the things that we can control, and the thing that we can control is today, not tomorrow, not yesterday. We can control today. So I want our players, I want our coaches to do everything they possibly can from the time the alarm goes off to the time they go to sleep and be comfortable at night laying your head on the pillow because you know you did everything you possibly could to maximize that day when it comes to school, when it comes to preparing for this opponent. The more days we put together like that, the Saturdays will take care of themselves, the exams will take care of themselves, and that's how I want our guys to operate in this program, but that's also how I want our guys, I hope, to operate in life. Take the game of football and learn these tremendous life habits that are going to allow them to go on and be successful in their futures. So yeah, I think you focus on the things that you can control. Outside noise is not one of them. Expectations are not one of them. Cheers or boos are not one of them. Focus on the things that we can control. So that's why we don't change our ap- proach. That's why I don't provide access to the media one week and not the next, because our players know what to expect. Our media knows what to expect. Our fans know what to expect. I know what to expect. I wake up in the morning, I know exactly what I've got for the day, and I think there's comfort in that, and I think there's confidence in that, when you have a routine.
