Emotional control challenge

Coach Key says emotional control is biggest challenge for team.

“Now, we were able to regroup at halftime and do some things, but right now we're letting- again, it all comes back to being singularly focused on playing that play and whether it's in practice, staying driven on what you have to do, the process. I've said that more than I've ever said probably. But if you don't, that's what happens. Then all of the air comes out of the sails and that person has to be able to rally them back. Emotional control: playing with emotion, not emotionally. Biggest challenge we have this football team right now. What leads to lack of consistency: emotional reactions to previous plays, good or bad. We'll put it all in a nutshell. There you go.”
