For the first time all season, the team came out energized and played that way for the entire 60 minutes. All of us were so dumbfounded as to how LSU could've come out as flat as they did against Wisconsin and Auburn. One of the things Orgeron confessed was that Miles would run 80-play scrimmages several times a week (essentially 3 games before the real game). The Wednesday before the Auburn game, les ran a 100 play scrimmage before the trip. There is a fine line between being in good shape and being exhausted, and I firmly believe the team was physically exhausted. Orgeron's plan of building up the energy throughout the week really showed against Missouri, and I can tell he has a good sense of how to relate to the players. I just hope we can actually play this game against Florida

There is a serious issue of diminishing returns in regards to practice. The time to beat the shite out of the players is in the summer, by the time the season gets under way it should be more about opponent centric game plans than full out practices.

Bingo.

Make it more about mental preparation.

Saban, while at LSU, knew these 300 pound black men could be physical. He would make practice about running reps to build intellect. (Knowing which man you block on a certain play). The only time he Nick ran actual scrimmage is if he thought there was a game that LSU looked like it wasn't being physical. But he would have one scrimmage and it wouldn't be 100 plays. And it may have been two times a season.

I've heard Miles would have them boys going balls to the wall. It's a big reason why we looked like we gave up in November. Mental and Physical exhaustion.

I like it also, but, as soon as we look unprepared, people will be saying that is the reason

Train smarter, not harder. Rest and recovery are crucial aspects.

Coach O's schedule for each day of the week is very smart.

Saban also had 300 pound white men like Kyle Williams and Stephen Peterman on his team so what does color have to do with anything?

LOL at all the white Knights in this thread.

Get over it. What he said was harmless.

We all know you have black friends.

So do we.

White men are not as naturally physical as black men. They have to be gym rats, first in-last out lunch pail kind of guys. They make up for the lack of genetic ability by being students of the game.

Bunch of SJW pussies up in here. He said he meant nothing by it. Try to focus on the intent of the thread and not your own hurt feelings.
