Augie Garrido Playing Quotations

It appeared by the way we were playing that we were the best team and would win this tournament, which makes it even harder for the players to understand or accept. We did our best. They did better.

We look at fall practice as an introduction to the personalities on our team and a way to get to know the people involved. We are also not trying to defend the National Championship, but instead going out and playing the game, which is a lot easier said than done. We are talking to the players about the importance of enjoying the process without feeling the external pressures of trying to live up to something.
