The SEC gauntlet wears many a coach down.
That article, to me, was more about him coming down here for athletes - speed.
What will counter that is the SEC continuing to lay wood to OSU whenever the opportunity presents itself. Of course, there will always be the, "we've almost caught the SEC" B1G diehards, but as long as they don't quite get there, that's all the matters.
Strangely enough, at least IMHO, the PAC 12 does not get enough credit for their speed as a conference. Yet where has it inevitably gotten them? Oregon was supposed to be the "speed" team to dethrone the SEC and Auburn, yet they too failed.
It takes more than just a few speedy players to compete in the SEC. As everyone knows it really all begins and ends in the trenches in this conference.
You would think people would accept that fact after what Bama's OLine did to ND last year.

Right there with you. If he makes it to the title game and has to play an SEC team he will not win.

Yep. That's exactly why Oregon couldn't go toe-to-toe against LSU. The difference in talent in the trenches.

I fully agree. OSU needs to go south for linemen, and pulled Bosa and Hill from the south last cycle. Pulled the DE from Florida this year thus far. They need to pull 2-3 linemen a year, then add that with midwest talent and a few skill position guys. I think that, along with the top Ohio and Midwest talent, can suffice

This
That was about a dominating performance by an O-line that you will see. Granted it was against Notre Dame, but still.
