...on Russillo show...he gave great answers to questions about the SEC and about pro style offenses:
1) He prefaced everything by saying "any one day, a team can beat you" applies everywhere, but he was also brutally honest, admitting that at Wisconsin they only had 2-3 conference games where the opponent might have as much talent, and the coaching staff definitely lightened up in preparation some weeks to save up for other weeks. He said they simply couldn't do that in the SECW.
He also said being at Arky meant better access to hs players in the South, more of whom came from rough circumstances "have an edge" than a lot of other places and that edge translated to a higher level of play on Saturday.
2) he said when he started at UW it was 50/50 or 40/60 on whether the opponent runs pro style, and now it's closer to 10/90, which accrues the advantage of being less familiar to the opponent. Being physically unfamiliar is as bad as being mentally unfamiliar. The opponent's D not being prepared for the physicality his O was bringing was a big advantage.
It was good stuff, validating CMR's approach in a lot of ways and definitely extolling the superiority of the SEC in qell-reasoned ways.
