Did Daniels play in the Liberty Bowl for tOSU? I don't recall seeing him, but that was fall semester. But if he announced he was transferring, Gundy might have said adios amigo.
No, he didn't. He had graduated already and was heading this direction. Had he, he wouldn't have had that last year of eligibility because that would have been his fifth game.Did Daniels play in the Liberty Bowl for tOSU?

I don't doubt that this is the best training and nutrition program they've seen to date. I also whole heartedly believe they're making great progress. I still don't believe some of the numbers that were reported last year.
I read something similar on shallower squat depth when those videos started coming out.Based off of what was shared last season, it's very likely some of the player weights were inflated. I think some also questioned the validity of squat totals due to videos showing guys not going to parallel or below. That might be by design though. There was a study from a couple years ago suggesting that shallower depth on squats was better for improving 40 yard dash times and verticals.
It’s not fluff, certainly a shock for people not used to it.
Things were massively exaggerated. Good news is we are in a better spot than we were.Gains can be exaggerated even though the training methods are legit. It's not an either or.
Indeed. Shallow squats for a short period of time can ramp those up in a hurry. Need to not do it as often as we do tho to avoid the massive amount of soft tissue injuries we had last year. Our training caused way too many of our 2018 recruits to season ending injuries.Based off of what was shared last season, it's very likely some of the player weights were inflated.

Funny, it used to be common practice to retract your scapula and tighten your lower lats while maintaining a straight elbow to shorten your standing reach which could give you greater results on paper. The people at the NFL combine check that all the time now. It was all about cheating the testOne of my daughter's volleyball recruitment advisers instructed that she could boost her vertical by at least an inch by slouching slightly on her standing reach.
Good gosh, the distances people will go to cheat.
Yes he does. I just have a really hard time with the marketing they did that pulled the wool over Husker fans eyes. "They didn't squat before", "This guy squatted 750 pounds", "This guy put on 30 pounds of muscle". We literally had videos of us squatting before, but Husker fans ran with that. They were claiming squat maxes of people not doing the squats to depth. And it is scientifically impossible to put on 30 pounds of muscle from January to fall camp. Literally can't happen. Yet all those things were ate up. Also, it is pretty common knowledge that the more iron you push, the better your form should be or you are going to cause some major imbalances and drastically increase your chances for major soft-tissue injuries. We had 8 high school defenders sign with our 2019 class, 5 of them (62% ) had a season ending injury. That is not good for development at all. Throw in guys like Will Honas and Miles Jones that I didn't count, and it looks really bad.***, so does Duval know what he is doing or not? You have mentioned soft tissue injuries more than once, will this be an ongoing problem, in your opinion?
Everyone is pulling in the same direction now, and our team will look so different in 2019.
Not sure if this is a serious response. There's literally a machine called google where you can type in "how much muscle can you gain in a month" that will spit out the answer for you. You can put on that much weight, but not that much muscle.Not saying it isn't true, but "scientifically impossible to put on 30 pounds of muscle between January and fall camp" is a broad statement. What scientific study has proven that? Certainly it would depend on the shape of the person at the start, plus body size, diet, etc.....but impossible? Highly unlikely i wouldn't even blink at, but impossible is such a big word. And in this case, scientifically is even bigger.
