All jokes aside, I think your original comment is probably true. I can't speak with certainty, but I also doubt that these players are highly motivated to win a game because of Chucky Mullins' number. I would say the same thing about Alabama playing one for Bear Bryant or Derrick Thomas.
They probably see it the way I see Carson Tinker, the long snapper from Bama who lost his girlfriend in the tornado. I care, I feel sympathy, and it's particularly important because he's "one of us"...but I wouldn't gain some special motivation if I were playing a game and we were memorializing Tinker's girlfriend Ashley.

I feel like our team would disagree. Its just different.

I see where you're coming from, but these players are all very aware of Chucky Mullins. There is a CM Award every year and the team is made very aware of the story - and what it stands for - not giving up.
