DeKALB — Head Coach Thomas Hammock said his team is gearing for the high altitude in Utah this weekend which can affect player conditioning.
Sitting at 4,637 feet above sea level, Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium might provide a tough atmosphere for the Huskies.
“The big thing is pushing the hydration earlier in the week,” Hammock said. “Normally we push hydration 48 hours prior [to a game], but on Sunday [the coaches] started making sure [the players are] getting a certain amount of fluids.
