ORLANDO, Fla. -- A review of the University of Central Florida's football training program, ordered after a player died and another collapsed last year, found conditioning activities rigorous ``but within the range normal to other Division I football programs.'' <br />
<br />
The review was done by an attorney hired by the university. <br />
<br />
The report released Friday recommends better communication between team physicians and coaches and said the school should consider hiring an extra athletic trainer for football. <br />
<br />
UCF President John Hitt ordered the review after the death of receiver Ereck Plancher last spring and the collapse of running back Brandon Davis in December. <br />
<br />
Plancher died after taking part in ``mat drills'' during an offseason conditioning workout last March on the UCF campus.
