This sounds like a program trying to justify getting left behind. I’ve seen this movie before, back when Barry Alvarez first got to Madison and we had to build it brick by brick. You don’t win in the modern era by pretending it’s 1999. That “cohesion” you praise gets exposed by superior talent, every single time. Remember when we’d line up against those loaded Ohio State teams? You need difference-makers. Your staff is developing players who wouldn’t have cracked our two-deep during the Ron Dayne years. Building a culture is fine, but you win with players, and right now you’re just collecting other teams’ leftovers and calling it a plan.
