Or even better case scenario is Luke continues to play out of his mind all year and right into the draft, leaving the door open for two years of Leary.

I like that scenario infinitely more.

Interesting that Clay Patterson ended up at Stanford. I’d love to know what went wrong here.

Having watched the PSU game … we’re just going to need more talent to win against teams of that caliber … recruit dudes as preps and develop … or pay to get them in the portal … that’s what’s needed to get to the next level … we’re heading in the right direction, but need to keep building.

we need lots of strong linemen on both sides of ball and a maniac at middle linebacker,

Our linemen are strong. The issue is they are slow off the ball and have poor balance. It also makes it a lot harder to block when you have to move to a silent count and everyone in the stadium knows the play call is a pass.
They were getting up the field to fast for screens or traps to work.

What we needed to was more 12 personnel and have the 2 te in blocking.

Someone commented on Twitter during the game that if this coaching staff had the 2009 roster they'd win 9-10 games easily. We've got the coaching now to hang with tough teams, but over 4 quarters the talent differential stacks up. For as much as Bielema as been a win in the trenches type of coach it's clear that our lines need a MASSIVE talent upgrade.
