Answer: not many. Love, hate, or whatever you think of Les Miles. But he has the most integrity of any head coach at a power school. Or any school for that matter. Urban Meyer would have sat him for 1 offensive play as punishment.
Patterson did keep his best defensive player off the field, so I guess you can throw him up there too?
I am sorry, but QB's run the show. Will and forever the be the reason teams win. You have to lead the ship to water, not run aground.
Yes but my point is our offense going up against their solid D and not allowing our best offensive player to participate. Whereas for them it would have been an offensive player to help combat our strong D. So had they sat down their star wide receiver hypothetically, I would have given him a lot more credit. The defensive player didn't amount to as big a difference as one would think.
You can have a game manager if your defense is good and your running game is stout though. Look at 2011, nobody would have called JL our best offensive weapon.
I see where you are coming from, but Mett did light them up and Fields is their best pass rusher. I'd say he would have made a difference, but I will admit not nearly as much of one as Hill would have made.
I am a huge Lee fan, but are you seriously telling me that Lee was our best offensive weapon in 2011?
