Duval's S&C - Year 2

Enhance said:
I haven't seen near as much marketing of the team during winter conditioning this year as I did in 2018 but I think that is probably a good thing overall. It could signal a movement into things that matter a bit more. Sort of like yeah... it's great to see you getting (figuratively) murdered in the weight room... but if you get blown off the ball against Iowa in November then that video in January suddenly seems not so cool.

I love seeing fresh content as much as the next fan but I think a quiet, hard-working winter is probably for the best.

Makes me wonder if they will go the UCF weekly video of "the program" like they did in 2017 or just stick to a blue collar, lunchpale, no media coverage approach.

Good question. Part of me thinks it will be more of the latter just because of the dynamic differences between UCF and Nebraska. They probably needed to do more things to engage the fans down there and just get them interested in the team again, whereas Nebraska is already a fish bowl and we'll sell out stadiums for a 4-8 team.  :lol:

 
A little Riley S&C tidbit that came out over on RSS last week. During the 2017 season they didn't have the guys lifting PERIOD. If the players wanted to lift they had to use the rec-center or some other gym. Speaks to massive project Duval was left with, not surprising a couple guys got rhabdo doing workouts that had already been watered-down and we still had issues against stronger fronts. On the positive side this means all the more gains potential we have with Duval being able to hit the ground running this winter.

I'm not buying that. The football team has its own weight room, so it makes no sense for Riley to make the effort to force them to workout elsewhere.

Oh my god!  No lifting at all?!  I can't believe it!  

I also can't believe that Riley mandated a 2 bowl minimum of frozen yogurt everyday before practice.  Ugh...that Riley!  He just has no clue.

Thank god everything is all fixed now.

Dunno about the rec center part but it’s not wholly inaccurate.

I don’t remember when but someone asked Frost how the strength training would be different during the season than in years past and I believe his exact quote was “We’re going to lift.” It was clear he was implying they weren’t doing that during the season under Riley.

Lifting may have been without emphasis, but the notion that guys had to go to the rec center if they wanted to lift? Not buying that. It runs contrary to what players from that time frame have said. Many of them still lifted. Plus, if that were the case, that would've been a huge story at some point. Somehow, only someone over at RSS knows about it? Nope.

Maybe it's fair to say then that Riley (possibly) didn't necessarily emphasize lifting in season? 

Regardless we're in very good hands with this staff as far as s & c go now it seems.

First hand knowledge here, I can confirm for a fact that's false. Athletes went to the rec here and there, but you could still see players in the north stadium weight room as you walked by too. Dylan Utter was the only football player I saw consistently use the rec weight room

Things get exaggerated. Maybe they wanted to minimize the amount of lifting the players did during game weeks and there were a few rogue players who did more elsewhere.
