Team Fitness

Anyone else think that the biggest reason we were able to make that comeback was because LSU was worn out? I think UT was the much more conditioned team and it showed in the fourth quarter and in OT. This probably seems so simplistic but the fitness of both teams has not been discussed that much.

I think that was part of it.

Definitely part of it. LSU probably had their practice schedule disrupted quite abit with Katrina and their conditioning showed. Add to that, they were probably so pumped to be playing that they left so much on the field in the first half, there wasn't much left in the 2nd half.
