QUOTE TO NOTE: “I don’t know if that helps. What helps is playing well, and your play is reflected by your behaviors, which are your actions in practice. And it all boils back down to that. We can make it psychological all we want, but at the end of the day it’s how you work during the week, what are your behaviors in practice, and your behaviors lead to playing better. And that’s what we’re trying to do right now — play better.” — Kirby Smart, on if winning the SEC East last year helps with motivation this year.
