DUBLIN, Ohio -- They have only one player from Ohio, but the Trojans all know where they're waking up this morning -- and the historical significance of the state -- thanks to head strength and conditioning coach Chris Carlisle.
During Thursday afternoon's team meeting in Heritage Hall, Carlisle gave a light-hearted geography and history lesson to the players, drawing a map of the U.S. and delivering an interactive, fact-filled exposé on the state of Ohio.
Carlisle is the Trojans' resident historian, as he routinely shares powerful narrations from the country's past during meetings, workouts and on Friday nights before road games.
Coach Carlisle's sketched map of the U.S., including the state of Ohio, remains on the whiteboard in the team meeting room after his geography and history lesson on the Buckeye state during Thursday's team meeting.
