From 2006-2012, 7 seasons, at Wisconsin he fielded 2 defenses in the top 25 I believe (maybe top 20 can't remember).

And he started as a defensive coordinator. To beat LSU and Bama at their own game you need a monster defense and as much talent on offense.

You have neither.

Not saying you won't get it, but the recruiting will be much tougher.

We ran for 182 yards against LSU in Bielema's first year of transitioning a passing friendly team to a downhill running team.

We were also two minutes away from beating them with our least talented team in the last twenty years and a defense ranked #88 overall.

I think we'll be able to compete just fine moving forward against LSU with this style of offense.

False
