Southeastern Conference media days kicked off Monday at the Grand Hyatt in Nashville, Tennessee.
Media days will conclude with Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel and student-athletes Joe Milton III, Omari Thomas and Jacob Warren on Thursday.
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher took part in media days Monday on the main stage.
The Aggies will play at Tennessee on Oct. 14.
Texas A&M’s contest at Neyland Stadium ends a four-game Southeastern Conference stretch of games before an open date on Oct. 21: versus Auburn, versus Arkansas in Dallas, Texas, versus Alabama and at Tennessee.
Fisher discussed the Aggies’ stretch of conference games before an open date at media days.
“What we form right now and how we practice, and not just practice, you don’t practice until you do it right,” Fisher said. “You practice until you can’t do it wrong. I think that’s where maturity comes in, and I think that’s where experience comes in, and we have to get those habits across right now so we can take those things on the road. What we have to do on those games in Dallas, one’s in Tennessee, two at our place, so to be able to do — whether you’re doing them at home or on the road — those have to be engrained right now.
“The secret to this is no secret. It’s going to be the fundamental things, and great teams do ordinary things better than anybody else, and that’s what’s got to be engrained in us through camp, and then the athleticism, and the greatness, and the great plays will happen within the concepts of what you’re trying to do. You’ve got to practice that way to be able to take it and create habits in the big critical moments on the road, and at home, and those big games.”
