All the people that brag about OSUs ability to come on strong in the last half of the season, or even the last half of games - thats all attributed to the S&C coach for having the boys physically prepared to go 12,13, 14 games and not be worn down and ready to quit.

I think that has as much or more to do with the coaches making phenomenal adjustments in their schemes than with conditioning. Dantonio was the master of making halftime adjustments to the defense. The 2nd half scoring in 2002 was astonishing. |
