Back in 2007, Coach Toledo complained that we were weak as a squad. Five years later, C.J. Johnson had the same complaint. Another four years passed and Coach Fritz voiced the same concern and, even today, believes we much get much stronger. I remember Toledo saying we only had three guys on the entire roster that could bench 400#. We probably have more than that in our incoming freshman class, so that’s a start. And, although the bench press is only one indicator of upper body strength (some think repetitions at a lower weight may be more important, for example), I wonder, after a decade from Toledo’s expressed concern, how many of our current players can bench press 400#. I would guess Coach Speer has that info on the tip of his tongue.
