In the final lines of his address at the U of L Football Kickoff Luncheon on Friday, Bobby Petrino delivered a statement about his team’s season-opener against Alabama that is certain to make its way down to Tuscaloosa.
“Obviously they’re a very good football team,” Petrino said of the reigning national champions. “They’ve got a great tradition. Obviously we’re excited to play them. I think it’s a great challenge, and we know that. But I’m going to tell you this: If we can get where we have every, single guy on our team, every, single coach on our team to believe like I believe — because I believe we’re going to go beat them — I need everybody else here to believe that, then we will go beat them.
