How will practice work now our regular season is over

[bigdaddy]

I’m not sure if the rules with the playoffs. For instance can we practice this week? Do we get a set number of practices? If I recall once you took a bowl bid you had like 14 or something. Anyway, thanks in advance

Hubbs said finals start the end of this week, so I doubt they do too much. Rest and rehab.

As soon as finals are over I expect them to kick it back into full gear. We won’t play again until December 20th or 21st so we will have 2 full weeks to prepare for whoever our opponent is. Give Heupel 2 weeks to prepare for anyone and this offense is going to be hitting on all cylinders.

I hope the layoff doesn't hurt. We weren't great after either bye week during the regular season.

We had some guys like Sampson and White banged up at the end of that game so the rest should be good to get them close to full health when we have to play.

I would imagine practices are permitted the same way they have been in the past for bowl games. All of the teams ranked for the CFP will go bowling if they don't get into the playoffs.

My guess is they will focus on Finals, but be in the facilities getting treatments and lifts to get their bodies right.

Since it will be more than two weeks between our final regular-season game, we're allowed up to three practices per week of live contact and three days of noncontact or minimal contact per week. The day before and after live contact is noncontact or minimal contact.

Thanks to all of you for the info

Bru didn't play either and I believe Thornton got hurt after his second TD and didn’t come back. I also believe Peyton Lewis got hurt. So rest is well needed.

I'd say that UT coaches will be hitting the film hard right now to prepare for the 3-4 most likely teams that we will face, and work this week on UT centric error corrections. Once the opponent is finalized after the championship games next week, game prep for two weeks.

Do the teams that lose in the CFP 1st round go back into the bowl pool or is their season done?

If I'm Heupel, I make everyone on the roster do cold plunges every day for the next 3 weeks. The team who handles cold weather the best in the first round will win the game, and if we have to travel to Columbus, Ohio or South Bend, Indiana - we will be at a disadvantage because their players have had more time to adjust to a colder climate.

The best example of how cold weather affects outcomes is that the Miami Dolphins are 0-8 in games where the temperature is 45 degrees or lower with Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback.

Man it’s got to be tough right now. Preparing for the game while at the same time trying to hold onto a recruiting class with early signing around the corner. On top of all that, trying to keep your own players here and figure out who is going to be healthy. Throw in NIL just for kicks
