“Team talent” ratings matter

Most computer rankings include some component of recruiting rank

Kajdin

Unfortunately they do. Recruiting rankings play a part in the real rankings

“Real rankings” are only the committee rankings. To the extent it plays a part in ESPN FPI and SOR, we don’t know

Tuiaki's big issue is he never learned how to run a 3-4 defense.

Please don’t say that name right now you are ruining the vibe

Jimmertime

If you looked at Tuiaki's schemes, it went a whole lot farther than learning the 3-4 defense.

You mean having LBs at 7 yards off the ball and fewer defenders than offensive

chilawcoug

It was absolutely ridiculous scheme. Like grade school level crap.

It wasn't really a 3-4 defense. It was a 3-0-8. The LBs were always put into

And because the LBs were so far back, so were the DL.
