NORFOLK, VA - Norfolk State's cramping put a crimp in its season opener. It also sent NSU strength and conditioning coach Reese Bridgman on a search for answers. Bridgman said a combination of factors caused the Spartans' issues last Thursday at Rutgers, and he doesn't expect cramps to be a major problem Saturday against North Carolina A&T.
Bridgman said the amount of time the defense spent on the field and the spongy turf of Rutgers Stadium led to NSU's problems. Oh, and just like most of the issues plaguing the country, the economy can be blamed as well. "I spent a lot of time looking at it," Bridgman said. "I feel some responsibility. As a team, we weren't in as good aerobic shape as we'd have liked to be. You only have so many weeks of preseason. It takes six weeks to get kids in aerobic shape. Preseason is four weeks."
