Jay Johnson’s Take: Challenging Series in Baton Rouge
“I think belief and confidence are the most important assets a player can have. The players on the team can choose to have their own belief system about themselves and each other, and I believe that’s really strong on our team.
“I want to see our team leave it all out on the field in what will be a very competitive environment. We’re facing another Top 15 team this week, there are more coming, and that’s just the way it is in our league. It’s not like this anywhere else in college baseball, so you’re going to get bloodied, and I think our response to that adversity has been great.”
