The concentration was intense all week in practice as each player knew it would take an outstanding effort to maintain their lofty goal of a perfect season. Mistakes could not be afforded against a Miami team that exploded with confidence and strutted its stuff on every occasion in order to back up its No. 2 national ranking.

After all, one more win and the Lions would have their postseason bowl bid all locked up.
