It has nothing to do with conference change. Big 10 is a better place competition wise.
With Riley vs. Bo... you sacrifice some of X and make it up with some of Y. This season, it was a toss...but you take the one with higher floor of potential, which is Riley. The one thing both of them seem below average at is OL play, which is where our problem exists Imo. And that may boil down to personnel, I don't know.
