Hugh Freeze recites General Neyland’s Maxims

Watch Hugh Freeze recite General Neyland’s Maxims.

The 2020 college football season concluded Monday as Alabama defeated Ohio State in the national championship game.

Part of ESPN’s telecast of the national championship game was “Film Room.”

Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson, former Auburn head coach Gene Chizik, Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze and North Carolina A&T’s Sam Washington analyzed the matchup from a X’s and O’s standpoint.

During the game, Freeze recited one of General Robert Neyland’s Game Maxims.

“You always talk about in these games — when a break comes our way, man, we got to score, we got to take advantage,” Freeze said.

General Neyland’s Maxims

1. The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way – SCORE!

3. If at first the game or the breaks go against you, don’t let up… put on more steam.

4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.

5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle… for this is “THE WINNING EDGE.”

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.

7. Carry the fight to (our opponent) and keep it there for 60 minutes.
