To win at football, it’s a team thing, everyone is giving 100 percent, pushing each other every day in practice and being accountable every day in practice. That’s what Al Golden is doing. Let me tell you something, when Jimmy Johnson and Howard were at Miami, if you didn’t practice a certain way, you didn’t play. That was the rule. That’s how it was around there.
