This quote is from al.com. I think what Zach is saying is spot on. We need to rally behind our team and let them know we're behind them all the way no matter what.
"Auburn's seniors called a team meeting Sunday to drive those points home. They didn't deny the pain and disappointment, but they told their younger teammates they would not back down.
"Man, it's really heartbreaking," cornerback Zach Gilbert said. "I felt like I was dreaming when I work up this morning. I really believe God has a way, and He's doing this for a reason. You really find out about the character of your team and the character of the fans the people who support you when things are going bad.
"When we went 13-0, everybody was on the bandwagon. Let's see who is going to be on the bandwagon when we are going through times of struggle. I believe and the other seniors believe we are going to get through this. We have the best talent and we have the best coaches. Some things just aren't falling our way right now."
Gilbert says he shared the message at Sunday's team meeting. He talked about faith and about character.
"It's all about competing," Gilbert said. "I don't care who you are playing. If you can't get up because you've been knocked down a couple of times, what's your character?"
