UVA football opens the 2015 season at #13 UCLA in nine days. It’s a roughly six-hour flight out west, and a three-hour time zone difference when you land.
Will jet lag or the time difference be an issue?
Coach Mike London doesn’t think so.
“We’ve got doctors here, we’ve got people who talk about the importance of hydration, trying to get on a similar clock, synchronize your body with the events that will be going on when you fly out,” London said Thursday.
The bigger issue is actually on the return trip. Same six-hour flight, plus you lose the three hours when you get back to the Eastern Time Zone.
“Jet lag is more so coming back than it is going out. We’ll take the necessary precautions, we’ll do the necessary things that we’ve done before,” London said.
