I have always agreed with hall of fame coach Gene Stallings when he said football games are won by football players making football plays. Yes, coaches need to help put them into positions for success and yes, there is always room for improvement. However, football is a very emotional game. In Ames there was no emotion in the game or pregame. I'm not sure the guys on the team realize how quickly their football life will be over. You have to play this game as if it will end tomorrow! It’s a dangerous game and it really can end at any moment. You can have a great college career and it can end when college ends.

Great perspective, Chuck. Thanks for sharing.

In fairness to the players, it is very challenging to be "fired up" for every opponent. I can see why many of them overlooked Iowa State. But, you'd think being shut-out for a quarter or half would've been a wake-up call. What exactly motivates Texas Football players these days?

It's a mystery.....

Your motivated by not being replaced by your backup who is motivated to play.

If Strong were to get fired, I'll bet these unmotivated players would be the most outraged. Why don't they do something about it before that could happen? They are the ones who can make the most improvement in Strong's position.

I think it was evident in the O Who game that they were very motivated by negativity and rumors about Charlie being fired, so where is their motivation now? Do they think he's off the hook? Maybe they need to be reading the posts on this board
