Senior Tyler Badie told his teammates to take time away from football this week. He practices meditation and tries to not think about the past.
Safety JC Carlies said that while he will take the first few days of this week to rest, he appreciates having more than three or four days to prepare for Vanderbilt.
“Making sure our bodies are well rested,” he said. “But still, at the end of the day, we’re still focused on our next opponent. Just trying to get a head start, doesn’t mean we get to rest the whole week. That just means a couple days to get your body right, but at the end of the week and the middle of the week, you’re trying to focus on your next opponent.
