"My goals for the spring were to create a new culture, brand and love for Cardinal Football," said Brady. "I challenged our guys to create a new standard for who we want to be and to completely focus on us!! We talked every day about 'Earning It' and winning the day. The team has done an outstanding job of internalizing the message from our coaching staff and, because of that, we have had an outstanding spring season. Wa are all looking forward to Saturday as a celebration of all the hard work this spring!"
