And they laughed because they really didn't understand that mentality.

0:11.1

That mentality is not about that game.

0:12.7

That mentality is about refusing to let bad habits seep in that could show up a month and a half down the road when it's the fourth quarter against LSU.

I don't think the AP poll is terrible, by the way.
