RECAPPING COLLEGE FOOTBALL FOR LAST WEEK (WEEK 5): (SEPT. 29 – OCT. 1)
“TIRED LEGS” DEFENSES (**These Defenses were on the field a ton of Plays last week/some a ton past 2 games!)
Ps-Remember teams on Road can’t bring full amount of players so depth can become an Issue. Playing over 75 plays last week can become a problem this week ….so always check travel needed this week, time zone differences, if on the Road (less players suiting up) and who are they facing this week (rested team?), (high octane Offense that might go fast in between plays this week?)
