Message: [QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 2296751, member: 860"] I know there are some here that bang the "scheme trumps talent" drum, but the fact is that it doesn't. Scheme matters, but talent recruited for that scheme matters as much or more. Babers scheme is built on going fast, forcing the defense to line up and tip its hand, reading the one-on-one matchup, and gaining chunks of yardage. On paper, it works. But on paper, the triple option works too. If your line can't block, your backs can't hit the outside, your receivers can't catch, and your defense is average...you aren't going to be good just because of scheme. Amba Etta-Tawo attoned for a lot of this team's offensive sins last year. He's gone, and it shows. The reality is that we are going to have to wait until 2019 to see what Dino can really do with his guys. I've invested 15 years of 4 hour soul-sucking afternoons is this...program. I can wait 2 more. [/QUOTE]
