I was reading some of the comments on one of the articles and someone said that the one thing they hoped was that we didn't come out and just be in awe of bama. 

That at brought me back to this quote from mike doss RE: 2003 Fiesta Bowl vs Miami

DOSS: We had 45 days to prepare. We'd call out the play before they snapped it. 'Power right!' 'Stretch right!' ... I shot my gun and Willis shot his and we hit. And right then I knew: We can play with these guys ... Everyone was looking for that first contact between me and Willis. After that, those guys had to know it was going to be a long night. It was like, you better buckle your chin strap because we're right here.

I have no fear whatsoever of us coming out flat. I can't wait for the first hit. IMO this game is lining up a lot like that 2002 game. Let's go!!!!!

Highly highly recommend the article that quote came from BTW
