Depth and Playing in the Heat

[techtim72]

Fitz called it right after the Stanford game. NU is handling the heat. Hard to tell but in the 4th quarter when NU's running game started working, likely Duke was gassed. Going two deep on defense has been huge. Bet next year every coaching staff in the country is wearing shorts!

A feature of Walker's teams from Miami of Ohio through his days at NU was that they were in better shape than their opponents. I attribute many of our 4th quarter wins in the Walker era to this fact. I'd love to see the 'Cats return to this type of late-game dominance.
