This week isn't about the BCS or style.

I don't care how or by how many. Just win.
I can guarantee you this. Should this unthinkable streak stretch to five, I will take an extended break from TNet. I will not be able to tolerate the Dabo lovers defense- "he's better than Tommy."
Just win.

We can't just print some inspirational message on a tennis ball and make it better?

amen to the defending dabo part.......

5 straight losses is inexcusable no matter how you slice it...........you can't defend that.
and I can't stand hearing/reading the "loser's mentality" of "regardless of the outcome we're still a great team"........that's just accepting defeat

It's not about who wants it more. Your first post was better

It's about execution: Can our RB's and TE's block? I shutter to think of Clowney matched-up with Seckinger. Can we handle Sutton and Quarles? Will our defense keep Shaw (or Thompson) in the pocket? How about tackling Mike Davis?
I have no doubt we "want" this game. My only question is do we have a coach that can put our guys in position to succeed? Given a month Dabo can beat anybody. Can he do it in a week? We'll see.

It's going to take a complete shift in mentality

And it's not just centered around a belief that you can win. It's an anger fueled by hate that will unleash an uncontained agression. I think someone posted a comment about the first 7 or 8 minutes being important and I would agree. The tone must be set early. We either do it to them or they're going do it to us. And you'll know it's working by the look on Tajh's face.

Well, by your logic, our players must hate big games.

If it's about "wanting it", then our players (who were recruited and are now coached by Dabo and Co.) must hate big games. By your logic, we didn't want to win the Orange Bowl, four in a row vs Sukolina, or FSU 3 of the last 4 years.
I will kindly disagree. Coaching is the difference- every time. If players don't want it- that's on the coach. Duke? You telling me Duke's players want it more than when they were a doormat? Or is David Cutcliffe a good coach?
Players AND coaches win games. But make no mistake, it starts with the coaches. They run the practices, set the standards, and call the plays.

Coaches provide players with the opportunity to win games.

Players have to take advantage of that opportunity to do so. Their were teams before their were coaches in college football.
