SF'S coaching expertise is an artifact of our dominance of the BIG8. That train left the station a long time ago! The Big8 offenses were largely, "3 yards and a cloud of smoke!" That philosophy doesn't work in the BIG. WHY we can't recruit 400 lb behemoths like IA, OSU. Most of Wiscy's players are from "the north," or from WI. Not so with NE. Our run game is largely non-existent, save Wan'dale, and our passing game is horrible--both qb's don't throw the mid-long ball downfield. The issues with the Center is downright demoralizing. I wish we could blame the bad snaps by the "coach clapper" on IA's sidelines. But, how about the other games when the center made several bad snaps, as well. WI and IA's db's, whose last names begin with, "Van..." are something else. They are great players who are game changers--to their credit, their clutch plays are a real homage to their Dutch ancestors.
