I have seen Heard do the same in games in high school. He does not panic when the lights come on. Has Swoopes ever had success. I have not seen much of Swoopes but when I think of him, I remember him going into a shell vs TCU.
Unless I'm wrong, the only problem with that will be that they can't have an official this weekend. If that is the only reason they won't be there this weekend, than I would say that is a very good sign.
