Look at Colorado's injury report for the past 2 seasons and tell me Turley is helping there in the injury department.
S&C =/= "lower number of injuries." The number of people who conflate the two is mind-boggling. S&C has little to do with bone breaks, fractures, and joint sprains.
S&C == "toughness, strength, explosiveness, and ability to compete throughout the whole game without getting completely gassed." Which, obviously, is lacking bad and where Turley made a significant impact.
We had KJ, Bryce Love, and 3 defensive starters go down in A SINGLE GAME (the 2017 Alamo Bowl) alone. Under Turley.
2016 Week 5, Stanford plays UW (and gets annihilated) without starting CBs Meeks and Holder and starting FB Marx. CMac gets hurt against Wazzu. Holder comes back vs. Colorado only to go down again, along with Justin Reid. Casey Tucker goes down. Francis Owusu goes down. Chryst tears his ACL in the Sun Bowl. Under Turley.
2015: Harrison Phillips tears ACL in Week 1. Shittu (who went down for the season in 2014) and Scarlett both hurt in Oregon State game. Kyle Murphy misses multiple games. Daniel Marx out for the season (lower leg). Kevin Anderson misses 5 games. Ronnie Harris misses 3. Mike Tyler and Terrence Alexander both miss 4. Under Turley.
The difference now is having no depth BEHIND the injuries (poor recruiting/development), and the players overall looking weaker (indeed the fault of S&C).
