Stars DO matter

Nama had a 3 man rush against UT OLine and 2 of the 3 got to the QB.

Vandy beat Georgia...

Georgia recruiting rankings...
'14 -- 8th
'15 -- 5th
'16 -- 8th

Of course recruiting rankings matter, but there are other factors too

Who's stars?

Resources do matter. Coaches, facilities, unlimited "associated staff." Plus 4/5 stars errywhere.

Exactly. Everything matters. Its never one thing. But one thing can lead to the detriment of all others... The leader or lacktherof

My point was that (3) 5 star linemen beat 5 UT linemen, with 2 of the 3 getting to the QB. We rush (7) 3 stars and get blocked by 5 linemen 95% of the time!

Bama was really your choice example on this?

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Dude. What part of 3 rushing against 5 do you not get? not 5 on 5. Not 7 on 5 like we usually have and still can't get there. 3... Three.... THREE.... Beat 5.... five....FIVE. And it isn't like UT OLine is chopped liver. My point again is that Alabama's 3...THREE... Rushers are better than our 7.... SEVEN!! Try not to be such a dick. Though you seem to wear it well.

Im thinking 5 3 stars not being able to block 3 5 starst is a problem with the ol coach, or more likely, the rating system.

The biggest difference is coaching and the respect for the HC. Plus, Bama gets primarily 5 star, and high end 4 star players that are being recruited nationally. That's a big difference.

That said, a really good coach can win big with 3 star players outside the SEC west.

Did you watch the auburn game? You'd have seen 3 & 4 linemen getting pressure on the MSU qb all day long against 5 diamonds in the rough

I'll just defer. You seem pretty good at math.

Let me know when they come across 5 that they don't manhandle -- if you will.
