After leading the team to two consecutive conference wins, Lunsford has the program in a state of positivity after the doubt and worry that plagued the Tyson Summers era.

"When this thing all started, it was an opportunity to provide consistency to our guys, and that's why I jumped all over it, and I felt like I was the right guy for that," Lunsford said.
