PiPress: Confident is good; cocky is not

[BleedGopher]

per Marcus:

It's OK to be confident, but don't get ahead of yourself. That was the message Gophers defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys has for his players this week.

And he's looking at you, De'Vondre Campbell.

Campbell, a junior linebacker, said after Saturday 31-24 loss to Ohio State that he still expects Minnesota to "see them again in three weeks," an allusion to the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis.

But the Gophers (7-3, 4-2) still have to beat Nebraska on Saturday and Wisconsin on Nov. 29 to get there.

"Maybe at one time that was acceptable around here, but it's not (now)," Claeys said at this Tuesday news conference. "So they better be ready to play, or we'll lose again. It's hard to win on the road.

"I like the confidence of the kids, but you've gotta play 'em one at a time. (We've) already been in trouble once trying to look ahead, so hopefully they learned from that."

Good story by Mr. Fuller.

Great advice for Campbell. No sense in supplying gratuitous bulletin board material to Nebraska and Wisconsin. The Gophers are getting better but we still have little room for error.
