"We didn't have Gatorade ... that made the difference."

Or, "we didn't stay hydrated...that made the difference". I can't believe that football players in the 60's could not urinate after a game, and it took a rocket scientist to figure out why! But then my dad was an all-state HS football player in the 50's and he tells of some crazy stuff they did, and thought nothing of it. (head-first spearing as standard tackle technique ??!!) They took their HTFU much more seriously back then.
