Rivals and Scout are there to make fans and recruits happy and sell subscriptions-- that's it.!!!THIS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deters- Posted February 3, 2011 Group: Member Topic Count: 0 Content Count: 3,749 Reputation: 309 Days Won: 3 Joined: 07/22/2008 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Coach Holtz is building the football program the right way. From the inside out. It shows in this recruiting class with the total of linemen they brought in. There's two things a football team needs to do to win championships. You must run the ball(successfully), and stop the run. If you're great at those things, you win. Watch the Super bowl, and check the stats of the winner.Thats one of those common myths. A good quarterback is far more valuable than a good running game and good run defense.There is a reason that the NFL teams with Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brady, and Aaron Rodgers are always good.That said, this was a solid recruiting class, it irritates me that we cant do better than this, because I feel like at this point we should be getting 6-8 4 star guys a year, but I think at least the guys we got seem to be high quality individuals and solid players.Brady plays behind a Top 3 OL, Manning Top 5 others Top 10 or so. All those teams also have dominant DL in Wilfork, Raji, Freeny, Mathis etc. A good running game is important at all three levels. You have to keep the defense honest and be able to get the hard yardage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Georgia and they lost to UCF. TCU and Boise State do it with recruits lime USF. Caching and desire are gonna make you a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most should be about 4 four stars. I think in about 3-4 years this class could be one of the best. Remember Coach Holtz look at system guys. So these guy will develop into something.

It's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
