I'd heavily dispute they were faster or stronger. More prepared and motivated yes agree there.

Better coached yes, better game plan no doubt. What looked like quicker and faster was actually playing decisively and aggressively vs our passive read and react D and passive Tressel ball offense. Reminded me of the Miami ND game where Holtz stopped our players from responding to their antics. It's an aggressive physicsl game you have to match the energy levels. Both in play and coaching. Or you instill a mindset of theyre faster and stronger.
