Will Muschamp drops the "fatigue makes cowards of us all" line. Is there, like, a Bartlett's Familiar Quotations for football coaches?

Yeah, I don't think "fatigue" is an applicable substitute for "they stopped handing us the ball," Coach Muschamp.

So yeah, Alabama's offense was better in the first half than the second, and Florida's offense was about the same in both halves. Is there such a thing as backwards fatigue?
