🔼 Built For This. College football, like life, is full of ups and downs. How those trials and tribulations are handled often end up as defining moments. But no matter how the past weekend went for the Bulldogs, head coach Jeff Lebby won't be shaken. His program won't be either. He's laid a foundation for State that's rock solid, and Lebby emphasized on Monday following the Dawgs' morning practice, he's going to continue to lean on that foundation to get his team where they all want to be.

🗣️ "The trust and the culture we've created over the last seven months is for these times. It's not for the easy times. The family, the trust, the connection, it's for the times that are really, really hard. To me, that's when things get exposed." - Jeff Lebby
