It's not AS noticeable this year because of the lack of depth but it seems like CBJ likes to stick around until the 4th and that's when his players start imposing their will on the other team, the O-line is the best example I can see this year, they do decent throughout the game but in the 4th they really seem to get that added push, example being Lane at the end of the SC game. I think this staff has a great plan for future success.

That's definitely something I've noticed. It was definitely apparent in the UGA/USC games where the opposition looked gassed while UT's players looked like they could go for another full quarter.

Not only that... but the lack of injuries for our team. A high level of conditioning plays a part in that but also a quality S&C staff that are keeping those joints well balanced.

Players get sloppy when they're tired and UT is punishing them when they get tired. And this is with little depth... imagine a team with actual depth consisting of high quality well conditioned players.

You could see an obvious difference in our D line push in the fourth quarter as well. We were getting a lot more pressure on Shaw from the edges. Hence the Big Dan Belly Flop thrown down on Shaw when he tried to run up the middle to avoid the pressure.

This guy approves of exceptional conditioning:

I think that the conditioning could be the reason for all of the opposing team injuries we have been causing. It seems like there are 2 or 3 injuries to the opposing ream every game.

I agree. That's what I was saying when teams start playing sloppy when they're tired. They aren't picking their legs up high enough when they're running, etc.

Factor that in with a well conditioned team late in a game? Bad news bears.

I haven't watched bama play much this year, has anyone watched them and noted their teams conditioning? It may be a small edge but every little bit helps.

Back in the day, Tennessee was a 2nd half football team.

Jones has said he wants to be a 4th quarter football team.

A player after the game Saturday commented that running the 100yd 52 times wasn't an accident. They want to have stamina and outlast the competition and have been working hard at it.

When you don't have an advantage, you create one with hard work. That's our S&C program.

CBJ said that since he has been together with this football/conditioning staff, their record was 43-2 when leading at the half. He pointed directly to the conditioning and shape his players were in.

CBJ understands that few college games against real opponents are won in 3 quarters.
