The prime time game is the Michigan State Game, which on paper at the beginning of the season,

0:04.4

you thought, OK, this is going to be something big. But then a funny thing happened along the way.

0:11.2

MSU loses their coach. And the team kind of goes into a tailspin at Howard. I mean, you've been a

0:16.9

player before it. For two weeks in a row now, they've had to lead in the fourth quarter.

0:24.4

And man, they simply found ways to lose. How do you and not you got Michigan coming in who

0:29.7

really doesn't care? They don't care if you lost your coach. OK, anything about you is going to

0:34.4

beat you. I guess, how do you mentally prepare yourself knowing that a lot of things that you've

0:40.5

1:41.3

the situation that you're being in. And you have to make sure that the right players on the field when

1:47.3

it comes time for that. If it becomes a mental lapse, if it's miss assignments, miss tackles,

1:55.4

something fluke happens, especially, and you've got to be able to address that. And when it's
