Sorry. Don't know who you have been watching, but you are out of your mind if you think the kids we suit up are comparable or can be competitive against any of the teams that are in the playoff picture. That is flat out fantasy.
DEPTH certainly caused a few issues this year, but the only game where talent was the reason we lost was ohio state (although Northwestern and Indiana put that into question). Every other loss was due bad coaching and player execution. There were times where it was obvious we were more skilled than the other team but would continually shoot ourselves in the foot or commit mental errors that cost us big (remember yesterday when I pointed out that despite it being obvious a qb draw was coming, we were able to bully Rutgers for solid gains, but the turnovers were killing us. Then we proceeded to run all over their ass🤷♂️).
I've watched some extremely talented players make some boneheaded plays that cost their team games. It takes more than just "talent" to win games. We've lost to plenty of teams way below us in the recruiting rankings over the years.
We'd be doing okay in that department if Tannor was on the bench. As soon as we took him out, both Payne and Nelson were getting to the qb.
