Quote:Sure sure, they're great.

 

Again, you're missing the point.  Nobody is saying that Dalvin Cook is a horrible running back, in fact, most people think he got the raw end of the deal when it came to the Heisman voting.  All that he was saying was that during that game the Florida defense played really strong for 3 quarters and only buckled when the game was decided and their offense made them stay on the field for long stretches. 

 

It's not rocket science that a tired defense gives up more yards.  As a reference, did anyone see the Bills 30 for 30 on ESPN this past weekend?  It talked about how they did the modified hurry up offense against the Raiders for the first time.  The Raiders weren't ready for it and had to use timeouts on the first drive to recover.  Jim Kelly said he could see Howie Long winded on the first drive, that's when he knew they had them.  Conditioning matters.
