OSU, Michigan leaving it all on the field

Columbus- The question of who worked harder can be better answered in 110 days, so for now, Ohio State and Michigan's Regurgitation Rivalry must be declared a draw.
There's no way to know which players truly gave up more of themselves this summer in the name of better conditioning, with each side claiming efforts to the edge of exhaustion.
"It was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen," Ohio State senior tackle Alex Boone said Sunday of the Buckeyes' summer routine. "People keeling over, and just vomiting everywhere. It was sick.

Grind of Fall Camp a Welcome Relief for Buckeyes
By John Porentas

The merciless grind of fall camp begins this week for the Buckeyes. According to some Buckeye veterans it will be a welcome relief from the toughest summer conditioning program any of them can remember.

"I don't know if you could have had a tougher summer than us and been able to walk or live," said fifth-year senior linebacker Marcus Freeman.

Freeman is a veteran of summer conditioning programs under former strength coach Allan Johnson and current strength coach Eric Lichter. Freeman says that Lichter took it to a new level this year.

"Coach Lichter pushed us to the point this summer that every day you felt like you were tired and couldn't go anymore. He did so much that each day you felt like you couldn't do anymore," said Freeman.

Conditioning regimen not easy

BLADE SPORTS WRITER

COLUMBUS - Late in September, when the Ohio State Buckeyes file into fall classes, if they are faced with that obligatory essay from middle school on "how I spent my summer vacation", the text might be a bit harsh, troubling, or too vivid for general consumption.
In the roughly three months from the end of spring football to the recent start of 2008 training camp, the Buckeyes were for the most part the property of Eric Lichter, whose official title is director of football performance.

His task - have them in the best shape possible when formal preparations for the coming season began about a week ago.

The consensus is that Lichter met that goal, although there were apparently no graduates from his boot camp, just survivors.

Is anyone else concerned that the team hasn't looked particularly explosive this year? I'm not suggesting that they're not in shape as far as overall speed and strength go, but in both games, I haven't seen much initial first-step burst along either line, or much in the way of WR separation or defensive closing speed. Maybe I'm just crazy or am underestimating the effects of not being jacked to play cupcakes, but it seems like both lines are just pushing rather than exploding and even the LBs and DBs are hanging on to make tackles rather than blasting through ball carriers. Am I bonkers or is there an issue here?

Jagdaddy, with my Rose colored glasses on, I am hoping that a lot of the lines and the tacklers apparent lack of explosiveness can be attributed to a slight lack of enthusiasm and intensity for the two opponents. This also goes for the WR's. Robo appears to be a little less than 100%, and Hartline played below par for him, at least in the OU game, also both of these guys, while fast, do not have elite #1 reciever speed, ala
Glenn, Ginn etc, though Carter, Boston, Jenkins and others were very good #1's without elite speed, so hopefully playing against a big boy opponent will get them to playing their best.
