"If you're going to have a good season, you can't just win at home," Hauck said of the first road trip of the season. "We've talked a bit about that as a team. I'm excited to go on the field with these guys and see how they perform. We need to understand that it's a different environment when we go some place else but the field's the same size. It's 120 yards long and 53 wide."

This weekend will mark the first road trip for several Grizzlies, and Hauck is aware of that.

"We'll explain to them what the expectation is. I think everybody young or old knows what we want to do, what we want to get done and how we want to go about our business," Hauck said. "It's the first road trip for the veteran guys with a new way of doing business too. We'll talk through that in bits and pieces this week so when we get on the plane on Friday, everybody's ready for everything that transpires right up to kickoff.

"It should be pretty uniform to what we do here at home. Just like a week ago, everything was new. Everything will be a little bit new this time around but I think our guys will be fine."

Hauck is also ready to settle into some sort of a routine.
