Vikings Roundup, 8/4: Turner's Focus on Final 15 Minutes

Turner will be watching keenly to evaluate performance and see who’s prepared to perform the best in spite of fatigue.

“I really put a lot of stock in how guys practice the last 15 minutes of practice as compared to the first 15 because I tell them, more and more, this game is being decided by the last four minutes in the game,” Turner said after Tuesday morning’s walk-through while filling in for Head Coach Mike Zimmer.

“Whatever the percentage is, 70 percent of the games were decided by a touchdown or less, so in those last four minutes, the team that’s the best conditioned, the team that can still play the fastest (will prevail),” Turner said.
