Former South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia knows a little something about defeating Alabama.
Back in 2010, he and his Gamecocks upset then-No.1 Alabama 35-21 in Columbia.
So, when Garcia offers some advice to Texas A&M quarterback Zach Calzada, who did the same thing 11 years later, Calzada probably should listen.
Garcia offered this advice, according to AL.com:
“Don’t take your eyes off the prize,” he said. “Yeah, we beat them and then we had a huge lead against Kentucky the following week and ended up losing that game. Everybody said you guys lost focus, you spent the whole week partying and I was like, ‘Ehh, not really.’ You don’t ever take your eyes off the prize and I don’t think Jimbo Fisher is one of those coaches to let Zach parade around and say I’m the man. He’s going to keep a laser focus, move on and prepare for the next game.”
Sound advice as the Aggies face Missouri this coming Saturday.
