Not true. You don't lose half of your practices by not having two a days. You only lose about 3-4.
NCAA mandates how many total practices you can have prior to the season anyway.
I misunderstood how they worked then. Still could have probably used those 3-4 practices. We looked like we were in practice mode for the first half of the season and then started playing hard as soon as our backs hit the wall.

Are you sure that didn't have anything with installing a new offense against live competition? Maybe everything looked perfect against the practice squad, but then when first team defenses showed up on the other side of the ball and gave different reads things got muddied for a little.
Then the coaches had film to pause in position meetings and say "See, this right here, when you see that you have to do 'X'..." And maybe that was the first time it clicked for the guys.
I don't know either. But I'm not going to say "If we had like 3 or 4 more practices in helmets and shorts we would have blown away Toledo because we wouldn't have had 3 touchdowns called back and wouldn't have had 100 penalty yards! And our defensive secondary would have been lights out! That's all they were lacking!"
