This concept of "talent" of which we speak...

Talent can be developed. But when you combine the two. Good recruiting and development. That's when you have a Bama, FSU and the like.
Ok, I can bring it back to the OP. Oregon doesn't look as good, because their talent is down. Talent on the O-line is down which is bringing Royce Freeman down. He was 11 carries for 87, but he had 1 carry for 49. So he was 10 for 38 on the other carries. I don't think Hefrich is nearly as talented of a coach as Chip Kelly.
Yes, I understand that.
NU will likely never ever have FSU/Bama style talent. There was short run in the 90s where it was arguable that it was on par, but that was a rare circumstance of local talent aligning in a way that it hasn't before or since. Even during those years, though, there was a large number of walkons on the depth chart (more than this year, for example).
NU needs A+ coaching to win championships, because I don't think we are ever going to consistently recruit as well as the Bama's and FSU's of the world.

I did not even think about LSU...man, you might be right. I think he is from Texas so LSU would not be all that far off and lets face it...they will toss him a contract worth about 5 million a year with an asst pool of probably 4-5 million to work with.
Herman has an "it" factor to him, like Meyer does...he is like a young Meyer...he just seems to make his guys believe they are going to win.

Miles is already dun. That loss saturday was the dagger. Unless he goes unbeaten from here. But with that offense it's not happening. Im not a Les Miles fan. Never have been. Nothing about his program suggests solid coaching. Just riding on the shirttails of incredible talent. And i think ppl of LSU have finally seen it the same way. What transpired at Lambeau Saturday was complete and utter garbage.
this is kneejerk with 11 games to go, but if Texas were smart (LOL, right?) theyll stick with Strong. I'd really like what I see transpiring in Austin if I were a texas fan right now. It's taken him a couple years, but he's instilled his culture. Gonna be interested where they go from here. Im a Strong fan.

I might be basing this on U.C. Davis upsetting Stanford on the road in 2005, which is already a long time ago.

Wasnt Standford like Kansas bad at that time too? I dont think they started making hay in their Harbaugh turn around until they beat USC in 2007 I believe.

I agree but I view talent mostly as motion. So, on a level playing field, the team with more players that can run quicker, faster, jump higher, better hand coordination, duck, dive, twist and turn, stop and speed up, burst....is more talented. Skill is different and sometimes more skill is better than talent by itself.
