Skip knows how to prepare a team for a bowl game. Which begs the question, why haven't we seen a better result from the first games of the season under him? I can only recall the past two at the moment, NSU and the 1-pt loss at Arkansas. In '13, I think, we got donkey-stomped by a mediocre NC State. I can't remember '14 and '15...
Anyway, to stay positive (for a moment), Skip has a demonstrated ability to have his team ready for a bowl. The excitement after the game when the players went nuts with the BOP during "Neck." I said to myself, this game really meant something to them. You can't artificially create that kind of excitement, it has to be genuine. But, more than the motivation/focus of the team, Skip and his staff have done a great job with the X's and O's for the 4 bowl wins. The Dawgs were prepared, and ready, to play, and only a good coaching staff can get that done.
