That's great and all, but it only works when you have an entire month and change to prepare. Check some of Wisconsin's losses in each of those years. And it's not just that they coach up athletes. Yeah, they'll get a Ron Dayne here, or a PJ Hill there, but it's because their OL are so massive. It's easier to find diamonds in the rough up there, because nobody is looking for them in Wisconsin, Minnesota or Iowa. That's fertile ground for OL. Always has been, always will be. But nobody looks there, because the HS football isn't "sexy". Look, not only at Wisconsin, but Iowa, too. They take guys that fit a philosophy, not a star quota. They're big nasties. Rugged guys. It's a different world, and for one game they can show out, but for the balance of an entire season, I don't think that style, that philosophy is a winning one.
