Is conditioning a problem???

[hotshotcock]

Throughout many of the games both offensive and defense players were laying on the field more often than penalty flags. Are these just freak injuries or is conditioning a problem?

Obviously the defense has taken a beating but on the offensive side we rushed back ups out without too much impact other than getting thin at running back a few times. Mon Denson saved our butts many times when Rico and AJ were sidelined.

Conditioning, freak injuries or are all the new rules creating more severe hits below the neck?

I didn't see any conditioning problems Saturday night. In all honesty I saw plenty of tater players huffing and puffing as we ran up and down the field on them. Their defensive line was gassed.

I don't care how hard you work on conditioning Tom Thumb, you ain't gonna make him into Paul Bunyan.

 

[jimnasium]

I believe Clemson ran over 100 plays against a thin D they had to be a little gassed but conditioning ain't an issue.

 

[melvin08]

Damn....we play in the SEC....that why u have so many injuries.....look at Alabama, LSU, FLorida etc...all have major injuries.....

 

[jimnasium]

With Bama and LSU they just trot the next one out there and don't miss a beat we're trying to get there. Anyway that's my belief and I'm sticking to it.

Strength and size seem to be an issue.

Agree. Strength, size and technique.

You've mistaken conditioning with lack of depth again I don't why you keep riding this horse.

Or perhaps intrinsic lack of ability in many of the people we have given scholarships to.

Yeap . I was thinking the other night that we are two or three plays away from being a 9-2 team right now but.... we are also two or three plays away from being a 3-8 team too . 6-5 is about what we are right now . Injuries are like excuses and A—holes , everybody has them . Nobody we lost this year is gonna win or lose us a ballgame . We are what we are

 

[Noonoo-33]

Tackling is just as big an issue. We don’t do it.

 

[jimnasium]

In all fairness to our secondary most are freshman...walkons... and hurt.

name one other SEC school that lost as many starters as we did?

 

[CockFamily6]

This is the most injuries I have ever seen on one team in my many years of watching football. Like everyone else I have a few theories but I really believe it’s a combination of many factors:
- overtraining (Champ is a harda$$ in practice)
- bad luck
- young players not quite ready physically yet
- lack of depth
- tackling technique (coaches must fix this)

And we could say same thing last year

And my favorite...

The biggest choke job in the 4th quarter



We wore down at the end...

Conditioning and poor tackling go hand and hand of looking like shit on the field...

With the fast pace offense, your defense needs to be strong and ready to play longer minutes than the offense....

 

[midline]

I love it when the strength and conditioning experts decide to enlghten the world with their genius. It laughable

You must have a lot of time on your hands you could show me the complete history of Gamecock football and you'd still be wrong.

Fine keep your strength coach and defensive coordinator... They both suck!

 

[Scuba_do]

I use a Shampoo / Conditioner mix. Works great for me.
