They are on time. They don't cause problems. It's the greatest testimony to our culture since we've been here, and I've never seen a team overcome what these guys have overcome," Traylor said of his players, postgame. "They battled their butts back, and they got a chance to go to a bowl. I got 28 seniors, the highest I've ever had. We got a chance to get it done here Friday night.
