The message continues to be loud and clear.
Just 72 hours removed from their shocking loss at Washington, the Trojans are being reminded again today that they've got much to improve and a lot to work on as Competition Tuesday gets underway.
"We've got to get this thing right," Coach Carroll said during this afternoon's team meeting, kicking off the competition-themed day. "This day is about battling against ourselves. It makes us better."
Carroll keeps making a special emphasis about being perfect and being right in every drill, every play and every practice. It's not a matter of picking and choosing when to do things correctly, but a philosophy of pursuing perfection in everything from stretching before practice to watching film to lining up correctly before the snap -- and all things in between.
"If you want to win, do it all the time -- not sometimes," Carroll said. "Let's elevate our mindset."
So another step in the bounce back happens this afternoon, as the Trojans one-day-at-a-time-it all the way to Saturday's game and their first of many opportunities for redemption.
"Let's capture this day," Carroll said. "It's all we got."
