Junior defensive back Zabien Brown, who has intercepted passes in some of the program’s biggest wins over the past two seasons, said the standard in the SEC never really changes: every game comes down to a handful of plays and whoever executes when it matters most usually wins.

Hubbard, a senior safety who is finishing a master’s degree in December, said he has tried to lead by staying even-keeled regardless of whether the team is riding high or facing adversity, something he said his teammates watch for and mirror.

“Play physical all, all year long,” Hubbard said.
