David Ballou

Sports science.

Yeah, David Ballou, he catches shrapnel, doesn't he? When things don't go well, you know, we heard about that third field, right, going into the season and how they felt.

And maybe it did.

You know, I mean, in terms of cardio and just ability to sustain, but, When I see a team that really gets handled at the point of attack, I don't think so much about weight room.

I don't think that was the case.

I think David Ballou has done his job in the strength and conditioning department, right?

Listen, I don't think there's any doubt about that.

I mean, you know...

They worked on it schematically.

They worked on it with David Ballou.

And, and I think we got the results Saturday night.

No, it was never going to be 200 yards.

They, they took good players, players that were better than Alabama fans knew, but they made them much better players.

So shout out to all the coaches, and David Ballou and the strength and conditioning staff, 'cause they're a big part of improving these players, too.

Yeah.

Kinda wondered at halftime Saturday about the lore, the field three that we've heard so much about in terms of the off-season program because, again, defensively Alabama was tracking 90 snaps in the game, and I know they play a lot of people, but it was obviously muggy, warm conditions.
