You know...i kind of agreeRecruiting the big uglies in the trenches. Obviously somewhat of an oversimplification, but I truly believe an elite OL and DL can almost win you a title alone. Then just add a QB that doesn't turn it over, and fill the rest of the spots in.
High football IQ. Incredibly good coordinators. Bama has 73% and Ohio has 68% blue chip recruits (4 and 5 star). Urban says the game is played in 4-6 seconds of relentless effort, regroup and repeat. Both also play and coach a complete 4 quarters of technique and fundamentally sound football. Limit mistakes and have a well designed system. As evidenced by Urban having a 3rd string qb step in and win. I can't even imagine how bad we'd look playing a 3rd string qb against the likes of a Bama or OSU.What qualities or performance traits do Urban Meyer and Nick Saban have that Solich, Callahan, and Pelini don't have? What makes the difference?
Agreed. They rock on both lines. I hope we get there.Recruiting the big uglies in the trenches. Obviously somewhat of an oversimplification, but I truly believe an elite OL and DL can almost win you a title alone. Then just add a QB that doesn't turn it over, and fill the rest of the spots in.
Yeah, recruiting was a mess. I will never understand how we did not get the stud RBs with him.Honestly, I think solich had it all except the recruiting. At least he was the closest.
Not buying into the SEC crap, but it would be nice for the MNC to have to go through the B1G. Just wish it was Lincoln....If you ask either of the two, it is not them, it is the kids playing the game. Not just talent, but overall drive to succeed.Both state over and over, it is all about recruiting. Saben was upset a couple of years ago, about having to waste recruiting time, getting ready for the MNC.Meyers railed on how poor the conference was in recruiting. Challenged everyone to get off their a$$.Yea they are great coaches, no question. But they know what butters their bread.Gonna be tough in this conference for awhile it looks like. Some are saying that we are looking at a run like Bama had, from Ohio State.Hope coach Riley can get us close, but this is an impressive display 4 turnovers and winning by 15 points. Amazing.
Nebraska does not play Ohio State every year. More in common with USC than OSU.Ohio State will be Riley's new Oregon.
