Less heat, more sleep: TCU’s reaping benefits of adjusted fall camp schedule

By Drew Davison

A one hour shift is making a noticeable difference during TCU’s fall camp. At least coach Gary Patterson thinks so.

Patterson moved fall camp practices from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. instead of 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. as in years past and is seeing a difference.

“From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., the wind never blows,” Patterson said. “After 6 p.m., the breeze starts coming in. All of my older guys who played before think I’m cheating these guys now.”

Conditioning and getting acclimated to the heat is great, but in Fall camp you are trying to learn things and get ready for the season. Fatigue can cause poor mental concentration. They can now learn and improve better. Never thought about one hour making that much of a difference, though.

A little different attitude than the 2005 Fall Camp.

I'm liking this Drew Davison guy. If Muck wasn't part of that paper I could subscribe to it. But alas...
