I just got a question about the NCAAF Total Saturday...
You don’t think FSU and GT both traveling to Dublin for the game will affect the over 55?
Not in this case. Only if they flew over today or yesterday. They've been there a few days practicing. they are more than adjusted, and these are 20 year old kids. I traveled accoss the globe for work weekly for 15 years, jet lag is a pain but in my 20's, it was nothing, i was adjusted the next day. These kids will have been over there about 4-5 days when game time comes around and already climatized, and ready for the conditions. The 18ish months of preparation helped the team largely limit the effects of jet lag, practicing Thursday and Friday afternoon ahead of Saturday's game.
Obviously traveling over, there are a lot of dynamics that go into making sure we get adjusted, I thought our players did a great job there," FSU head coach Mike Norvell said in a press conference after Friday's practice. "We were able to get out there and practice (Thursday), practice (Friday), guys are looking good. They handled all elements of the travel well.
In order to help combat jet lag, FSU kept all its players up until 9 p.m. on Thursday, allowing them to explore the city a bit. That time also led to the FSU head coach getting quite a few compliments about how well his team has treated the fans who want to meet them.
the bottom statement i found from FSU coach. GT coach echoed similar thoughts, they got there a few days ago as well to prep.
