RECAPPING COLLEGE FOOTBALL “FATIGUE/TIRED LEGS” FOR LAST WEEK(S)/ (WEEK 8): (OCT. 20th– OCT. 22nd)
“TIRED LEGS” DEFENSES (**These Defenses were on the field a ton of Plays last week/some a ton past 2-3-4 games!)
Ps-Remember teams on Road can’t bring full amount of players so depth can become an Issue. Playing over 75 plays or more 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?)…all these things can play HUGE as Fatigue is much more a problem this late into the season. (*also some teams haven’t had one week off yet….that’s a toll too).
SUPER “TIRED LEGS” DEPARTMENT TEAMS THIS WEEK
Note: Many teams have NOT taken a “BYE” week yet and so (150) Total plays over the past two weeks is worrisome and avg. near 80 plays last 3 or 4 weeks is “RED FLAG – WATCH OUT” situation. Always also remember the smaller schools lack depth so “Tired Legs” comes into play in a big way more so than the elite teams with very deep Depth.
