“The only thing I would say is the main difference is probably that we are working in a different way. Our strength staff, Coach [Jake] Flint, and the other weight room guys, do an amazing job,” linebacker Mike Jones Jr said.

“They’re really data based, and data driven. We’re constantly wearing things that are going to track out speed, how much we’ve been running, and even the way we lift,” Jones said. “They’ve done a really great job of taking care of the guys and our bodies and making sure we are going to go into camp really healthy. And to be in a position to make a run and have a good year of college football.”

But the most important component is making sure these players aren’t just healthy and ready to go for the season opener against Florida State but for those grueling SEC matchups in October, November and December. That takes a detailed level of planning and organization that certainly can’t totally eradicate injuries, which are a part of the game, but rather put the team in a better situation to withstand some of those issues.

“I think our numbers look pretty good. Our GPS numbers show a fitness that will have us prepared for Florida State,” Kelly said.

Looks like it was time for a change with Moffitt.

I’m really liking what we’re hearing from the program Flint is running.

Interesting.

So what does Kole Taylor look like today?

reminds me of the 2011(Edt) season when so much emphasis was put into off season conditioning in order to be physically prepared to keep up with Oregon and their fast paced offense. We wore the ducks' asses out. Why we did not treat every offseason like that is beyond me

The fact that this wasn't being done years ago. Just SMH

But every July Moffitt would go on local radio saying this is the strongest most in-shape group of guys he has ever had and this board would drool over move in photos of the player’s bodies.

I thank Moffitt for his time here he was great but the game passed him by are teams were definitely not in great shape the last couple years you would have a few yoked guys but oline men that looked like fat and sloppy

LSU is dominant when we have well-conditioned athletes. Hearing the level of attention being given to that part of things excites me more than anything else.
And the guy saying it came from Clemson, so he's seen 3 regimes at this point. Dabo, O and now Kelly... pretty much makes him an expert on the subject.
