When we won at Oregon we had a lot of sustained drives that kept our D at least semi-fresh. Last night, UW had several long drives of their own and at least one 17-play drive. We followed, I believe, with a 3-and-out. I don't think any amount or quality of conditioning can prepare players for that.
