BCS CHAOS
CHAOS
• Alabama attempts a long field goal and misses (63 yards)
• Auburn FIELDS the kick and returns it for touchdown (109 yards)

What’s the Point to the Story
• Auburn’s coaching staff had a plan – Auburn had a goal
– Beat Arch Rival Alabama
• Alabama’s coaching staff also had a plan – Alabama had a goal

Both Teams Had Plans
Ask Yourself

Recipe for Success

– Written Down
– Short and Long Term

This is where I am (in the warm area)
