Our team has been dominating this season. We have yet to have a real test, and our starters have gotten to rest plenty during the year. It's been a helluva ride so far and I'm enjoying it immensely.

That being said, our starters have yet to play a full game. What happens when it comes down to 4 quarters of smashmouth, physical football? Will they tire out since they haven't had to play at game speed for an entire game?

I trust Coach Mick and the staff to keep them healthy and well conditioned but nothing can prepare to for game speed.

Does anyone have any insight into how they prepare to play for 4 quarters when they never have to? I could honestly see this being something that works against our team the first time they have to play deep into the 4th quarter of a big game (hands on hips, breathing hard, playing an up-tempo offense that's firing on all cylinders).
