He responded to a question asking him to compare this opener to the game at South Carolina to start last season. He was talking about being tough throughout the season and the lessons learned from blowing out Carolina but finishing 6th in the West.
quote:

That being said I think it's more than just first game we are talking about. Whatever happens in this game is not going to define us, win or lose. Just not. Didn't learn that from last year you didn't learn anything. Particularly in a non-conference game. Preparation this game is based on how we have done things in the past. We've been pretty good in first games. So how we approach won't change. Change for us will come down line and how we do things rest of the year

Makes more sense when you look at it in it's entire context. Nearly every pundit in America had Kenny "Trill" as a Heisman contender and A&M to challenge for SEC championship after the Carolina opener. Obviously that didn't work out too well for Sumlin's team

Yes,correct but he's comparing his 2015 team with an aggie team who has brought in John Chavis and sold their fan base as the answer to their problems...the missing ingredient to elevating them to nat'l championship status....Sumlin is not stupid....he knows he's hung a heck of a whole lot on the Chief bailing him out of LSU owning him and bringing a few wins to aggieland in lieu of their dismal defense. Chavis will help....just about anyone worth their salt would help that defense...but he's no recruiter and never will be....LSU bro't him elite players...so did Tennessee....Sumlin will not be able to match the recruitment of elite defensive players....that chavis is used to having....and sooner rather than later, this delusional aggie fan base will come to see this...jmho
