Months before the college football season kicked off, in the days and weeks before the media circus came to Charleston, when the thermometer was north of 90 degrees, Charleston Southern University head football coach Jay Mills had already scripted the message for the September 5th opener against the Florida Gators.
It wasn’t going to be about X’s and O’s. Mills wouldn’t be talking about wins and losses, nor would he rehash some old school gridiron speech. This script was written long before this game was on the schedule, long before Vince Lombardi, or football, for that matter. Mills said he was being led by the Holy Spirit. All he needed was a huddle and a mirror.
