And the argument I would have is that scheme only gets you so far. That Ohio St team was friggin loaded with players who are NFL ready. Both RBs and WR2 will be good NFL players. And their WR1 is a 19 year old who could burn a lot of NFL DBs right now.
They also did much better in the second half for what it’s worth.
I don’t know how it will work out for him as DC but you can’t judge him on just that game. I don’t think any scheme could over come that talent gap.
