You're talking about systems like Michigan invented defense. Son, we had a system under Spike Dykes that turned two-star kids into All-Americans. Then the portal came and loyalty went out the window. Your "machine" just lost its best parts. You can't tell me a philosophy replaces a Will Johnson or a Mason Graham. That's like saying our "Air Raid philosophy" would've been fine after we lost Kliff Kingsbury. It wasn't. Players matter. The Big Ten isn't the MAC. You'll find that out when you have to go to Columbus with a bunch of new faces trying to play with "leverage." Good luck with that.
