In an age where strength and conditioning is becoming an absolute necessity, one thing fans have noticed is a drop off in the 4th quarter in Tech's ability to hang physically with an opponent. Oklahoma State stands out as a game where Tech looked gassed late. One could argue Kansas State as well. And it's not just leads given up, but the inability to hang in games late or make a comeback which have been the trademark of Tech teams over the last decade. It's a topic that wasn't lost on Kingsbury as he dismissed Chad Dennis from his position as strength and conditioning coach.
