So, in other words, Feeley is a good, if not great, tire on an otherwise recycled/retrofitted ’67 buggy, huh?

Like that............probably a 4 x4 off roader with 1 all weather tire in the rear......Need to get that performance level up with a matching set or no bueno.......performance suffers....
Admit though Feeley is warmed up ready to go.

I'm no expert, but maybe the body's efficiency in processing lactic acid buildup plays a role?

Can anyone else directly comment on this?

Commonly misunderstood, but it's not "lactic acid" that accumulates in the muscles/blood, but rather blood lactate. Anyway, if you are properly prepared (and this has as much to do with practices as off season training), there should be no lactate build up during a college football game. Lactate will usually begin to accumulate during longer duration, high intensity activity. Most football plays don't last long enough for it to accumulate. Recovery between plays helps to replenish ATP stores in your muscles and delay the onset of lactate accumulation. In a no-huddle scenario where plays are being run very frequently, you're more likely to experience some buildup or during an extended drive. But this should still not occur if players are properly prepared.

As for your question, I don't specifically know the answer to lactate buildup and cramping, but most often the cramping at the college level is from poorly prepared players. College programs tend to be on their players for proper nutrition and hydration. You tend to see serious cramping at the high school level, early in the season from a combination of poorly prepared players and poor nutrition/hydration.

I am an expert, at least that’s what all these expensive papers on my wall tell me, but I agree with this assessment and believe it’s both Coach F and the nutrition staff keeping these guys fueled up... coaching can be questioned so far, but s/c and nutrition guys are doing their part above what is considered acceptable. Dividends will pay off over time BUT what I want to see is the COACHES maximizing having the athletes we are producing to their maximum potiential. We are fit and tough like coaches want, so do your job and make them efficient and successful.

Donaldson needs randy Shannon guarding his refrigerator Cortez Kennedy style
 
Wiggins continues to be frustrating. Even in Richts offense the kid was constantly getting open. Just couldn’t hang on to the ball.

He’s a physical nightmare for opposing defenses but he’s doing nothing with it so far.
 
We seem to be well conditioned, but I still question our strength. I know he’s only been here since December, so hopefully next year is when we take the next step in that category
 
Isn't anyone else tired of this nonsense?

You can read a book or just hang out with other coaches to learn how to talk the talk. It's real easy to say the right things, but do you know what you're talking about? And more importantly, will kids follow you? Will they do what you ask because they believe in you?

I'm not saying this guy is a sham, but he's not legit just because he can talk about effort. As far as I'm concerned he can do his next interview when Miami is a dominant program again. Same for the rest of the staff. Stop waisting my time with interviews where you say the a bunch of sht that sounds good. I don't care even a little if you sound good, I want to see winning. Then you can talk.

Feeley has been done a great job. Conditioning has not been the problem, and there have been far fewer injuries. The OL still seems ‘weak’ but I attribute that more to the awful job Barry is doing.

Ok I'm lost. Feeley is doing a great job with strength and conditioning the OL but Barry is doing a bad job coaching them and they seem weak? Do they seem weak because two of them are freshman bu chance going against four year and five year college players who have been in college weight programs since these freshman were in 8th and 9th grade.
