re: The talent gap between UGA and Michigan...

I think the “talent gap” is a bit of an illusion based on how Patterson built TCUs roster. They do have a bunch of 4 Star guys scattered around the two deep. Though a lot of their roster is built like a track team. Patterson used to say “there’s enough speed in the DFW to field a championship squad every year”. He would recruit track times and size, then figure out your position once you got on campus. Even Duggan was a hurdles champion. Patterson just couldn’t provide the structure & coaching necessary on the offensive side of the ball to consistently win. Though TCU would consistently produce combine freaks that would get drafted highly year in and year out. Credit Dykes for steering the sports car in the right direction. I think you’ll see another TCU freak show at the combine this year.
