“AZTECS BOUNCEBACK
===========

It was a brutal beatdown at Boise State.
1-game-1 loss…yes but maybe a different message
Maybe SDSU is not equal to Boise, and not ready to play in the Pac 12
Time to move onto next game-Friday vs New Mexico on a short work week leading into Friday’s game.

Coach Sean Lewis put on a passion play performance at his Monday press briefing.  A bad beating on the road, another week, another game, and another chance to grow.

His offense has been spotty.  For the first time his defense was overwhelmed.  But his spirit remains non-stop.

An interesting sales pitch from a team that is (3-5) and has yet to beat a good team on the schedule

Sean Lewis Comments:

Growth-learning curve can be messy
Took ass kicking..but learned alot from that
Continue to fight and finish the season the right way
Flip page and move forward

This is not a rebuild-it is a process
Lockeroom knows this is a process too
We are building something special
This is not a throw away season

Want to create bowl opportunity and keep this team together
Champion our process to these players
Learn lessons from Friday night

Believe we have right kind of guys in this program
Character and leadership in our club is undeniable
Continue to inject new life-talent going forward
Have guys we can win with

Number hits Danny O’Neill  has taken are not equal to what happened to Shedeur Sanders-Colorado
No comparsion at all-not a true assessment
Injuries in offensive online have impacted O’Neill
It is a fact of life-when you are a QB-you get hit
This is a natural course of the game
We have the right guys to protect him
Everyone is a part of cohesive unit-need to all function

Majority of O’Neill hits were early in the game
Keep him in the game- shows our guys willing to fight
O’Neill finish strong important for him and the team

New Mexico offense is explosive
Devin Dampier has long runs-change directions-so quick
They generate alot of big plays
Our presnap cycle against him important
Dampier has home run ability as QB
Do great job keeping cage around him
Very dynamic QB..hurt teams alot of ways
He likes to run first and throw second

This could be a shootout type game

No concern about turf situation at Snapdragon
Get it up to par for Aztecs
Meet with SDSU officials about the grass
Plan laid in front of me about irrigation, seeding, sod

So we control what we can….we cannot control it-the surface
Use different cleats but this is player’s choice

Bowl expectation is important-we are aware of it
Worry about Friday game with Lobos

We are obsessed about game plans
Be upset about where we are now
How close we have been-use it as a momentum
Setbacks are part of learning-growing-competing
Lean into these moments-good-bad-ugly
Understand the lessons from it

Boise out come..you know these things happen
Respond better
We were not blindsided
Things happen to 18-23 year men
Been in this along time…I’ve seen all this

Defense played so valiantly-against schedule
Fatigue setting in..not at all..in great shape
Collectively these guys want to play better going out
Need to get off the field on 3rd downs
Need to convert our own 3rd downs

Bronco Mendenhall-New Mexico knows how to prepare teams on short weeks
1100 yards in New Mexico-Wyoming
Watched alot of football video with my son
Pretty excited to watch football
I watched every snap….I love watching football video all the time
I can be a fan watching video..watch ball..I am a coach
Tough to turn off my brain when it comes to watching video

Teach my players…do and train like a pro right now
Molding men right now is what I do
I cannot turn it off..we are fanatical about this
Got to be a bit crazy to make this work at elite level
Always searching for next piece of information-who I am

Jim Harbaugh and I think along the same lines.
