Steele made an interesting observation even in his preview to the tune of something like "it seems like this team always suffers a lot of injuries" or whatever. I thought it was kind of interesting that even a media member would notice it. Of course, Steele keeps track of those. But the fact that he remembers year over year that injuries stockpile at Ohio is impressive.

There hasn't been a "Fire the strength and conditioning coach" thread in a while and do not intend to start one. Behave yourselves, everyone.

By "everyone", do you mean SBH? Just asking.

BCAT2, you exactly correct about the poor defense on 2013, and that 2014 was much better. It wasn't that the defense just went back to the old contain strategy. It was rather that they adjusted the rest of the defense, and in 2014 the line, linebacker, and secondary play all went together. The line was perhaps not quite as aggressive, but the dbs were often right up on the receivers.

There were some growing pains with the new defense, not too surprisingly. The Marshall game was ugly at times and, especially early in the year, DBs were burned one on one for long TDs. As the year went on they were burned less and less often. By the time they reached the end of the year the average points given up were pretty low, even with Marshall averaged in.

I'm looking for the defense to pick up this fall where they left off, and while no doubt there will still be a few times they get burned, I think they will learn from last year, and it will be less frequent. I am hoping that come the end of the year the defense will have given up under 20 a game, and will lead the MAC in that department.

I was thinking that he meant Burke. In any case there has been a change of some kind. Dak Notestine seems to be the one in charge of Strength and Conditioning for Football, with Sano above him.

I've mentioned this before but the Ohio S&C staff needs to take a trip to Stanford. These guys are gurus and had one of the lowest injury rates in FBS. Nothing like learning from experts.

Going from memory I think that the number of injuries last year was normal. It was just unfortunate that it happened to be the starting QB and RB, plus some injuries at Safety. No strength or conditioning was going to prevent Vick's injury, which was a nasty twist to the knee when an Idaho guy hit him late. I don't think AJ's was preventable, either. That isn't to say they shouldn't keep trying to improve by learning from the best; they should.
