Re: Too Big To Fail: An Interactive Texas Longhorns Dynasty (
Three weeks in, and Harry felt no different than we have first arrived on campus. The pressure on him to make this Texas team work was heavy. He felt it, the players felt it, the fans felt it. During the BYE week the team looked at it's flaws spending half the week watching film and pointing out their flaws in the game, the other half was spent scrimmaging. Coach Rollins had a private meeting with David Ash, reassuring his quarterback that he had the utmost of confidence in him.
It was time for his press conference, and if anything put pressure on him, it was the media. Harry sat down and some into the microphone, "Welcome to the weekly press conference meeting. Who would like to start?"
"Your team is currently giving up over 250 yards through the air, have you focused in on the secondary this week as you prep for ISU?"
"Nothing different.That stat is probably bloated because of our debacle against Ole Miss, but I feel like we've corrected that and will show it out there."
"David Ash has been struggling for the first quarter of the year, as the coach, have you said anything to him?"
"I backtracked on my "wide open" statement I made a few weeks back. At practice, I got him alone with me and said 'Dave, your a good player, just calm down sometimes. This is your team and nobody else's.' I'm hoping the restoration of faith really lets him fufill his potential."
"Are you concerned your team is focusing more on the game against Oklahoma rather than this game?"
"I'd like to think not. We preached to them about that, focusing on the here and now. Oklahoma is a big game as always, but when you're under .500 every game is a big game. One step at a time." Rollins said. "I believe that's all we have time for, thank you for your presence and have a blessed day."
