Quote:"Conditioning wasn't our strong suit," offensive lineman Baveon Johnson said, "That is what we plan to work on and plan to improve this week ... I feel like it was just conditioning overall. That is what we need to get better at."

So Taggart makes specific reference to hydration which should not be a great or mysterious puzzle to solve when it comes to playing football in August...especially in the South.

One of the players questions the conditioning which is a broader topic assuming he's using it in the correct context. Conditioning is a year long process so it's a little late for that.

What in the world is going on in Tallahassee?

The FSU offense was 1-12 on 3rd Down Conversions. And defensively allowed Boise to convert 10-19 3rd Downs themselves. Convert a few more 3rd Downs or stop them once and your defense won't be out there for 108 plays.

Now the S&C Coach as been with Taggart in one role or another since USF and Willie has known Oderinde since Oderinde was a player at WKU.

More importantly, Oderinde was suspended for 30 days w/o pay at Oregon as a result of three players being hospitalized for acute rhabdomyolsis during winter workouts one month into Taggert's one year in Eugene.

The good news for Oregon fans is that Taggart left.

The bad news is that they replaced him with Cristobal.

When Oregon Trustees were asked who they should hire as a coach they were misunderstood. They said, "We would need a Crystal Ball." The A.D. thought they said, "We need Cristobal." And there you have it!


As to Florida State, they live in heat and humidity, another excuse tossed out by Taggert. They exist in the deep South where high school football is deified and where conditioning is a high priority in high school ball. So when these excuses are tossed out it should be as clearly seen as a neon sign flashing "Fire me!"

They just need a new waterboy!

I'm impressed he can fix conditioning in just one week.

I watched most of FSU-ULM and I've seen ULM play at least one game every year for the past decade plus, usually more thanks to streaming football.

I watched ULM beat Arkansas. I watched ULM take Auburn to OT. Saturday was different. Those two prior games, you could look and see that Auburn and Arkansas had obviously better players, they just weren't executing well they'd throw an arm tackle, they might loaf on a block or blow a read but if you were picking the 11 best offensive and 11 best defensive players in each game maybe 3 ULM players make your 22.

Against Florida State? There was a much less notable talent gap. Maybe that's because Florida State threw hundreds of thousands of dollars into a pit called strength and conditioning and didn't get much for their investment or maybe a lot of those FSU four star players were really middling three stars that would anchor an AAC or SBC team but shouldn't anchor an ACC team.
