This is the best thing I have read from one of our coaches in many years.

"It’s not that first quarter that’s going to win or lose it, it’s going to be where we are in the fourth quarter, and how to finish games," Whipple said. "Obviously, we know that was a little bit of a problem (last season), but that’s being a little bit more mentally tough, and more physical, and understanding situations. That will be a real focus come August — how long’s the third down, what do you need, what’s time management."

No doubt... and keeping one's composure while making smart decisions under pressure. I think Whipple's comments explain the difference between winning and losing. Its refreshing to hear.

Love these two words “… understanding situations…”.

If the players AND the coaches demonstrate improvement in situational awareness, I’m confident we’ll see improved results.

GBR!

I'd guess Whip is giving the QBs much more grounded and easier to understand instructions than Disco Stu.

If it happens it'll be even more refreshing to see.

So on game-winning drives with 2 mins left we won't run four-go routes while the OL holds its blocks for 2 seconds and watch Adrian run for his life for 3 straight plays? I'm sold
