Jones would have been easy for anyone to recruit. OSU made him take a grey shirt and a red shirt because he was in the same class as Braxton Miller, only for both to wind up in the same draft class.

We're not far apart, but the coaching staff is a key part of the team. And this coaching staff has made the offense a joke. The second-highest scoring game against a P4 opponent was 14. 14! Two bleeping scores. One of those was a kick return for a touchdown, the other was in garbage time. The Badgers' third-highest scoring game was 13 against Washington. In that game the Badgers scored a touchdown following a 7-yard "drive" after a Washington Fumble. The Badgers scored 10 twice: against Maryland, when they were down 27-3 (at home) and scored a garbage time TD with 28 second to play in the 4th quarter. Maryland, with its one conference win. The offensive bright spot of the season was a first quarter touchdown drive against Michigan, followed up by a field goal, to get to 10.

Excluding those two garbage time TDs against Alabama and Maryland, the Badgers had four TD drives of longer than 20 yards against P4 opponents. One of those was an 84-yard run, so hardly a "drive." In 10 games against P4 teams, the Badgers' offense scored more than one touchdown once.

Our offense was catastrophically--or comically (choose your adverb)--bad.

It’s an odd case because you watch the down-to-down plays and by design they’re mostly fine/do the work to maximize a pretty limited group.

But when you have poor OL, poor QB play, your most talented tailbacks just play pretty unimpressively, you’re in a real bad spot.

Throw in the fact it seems like the quality of backup QBs is lower these days, and it’s a bad spot.

Of course. Jones would have started at any other Big Ten school.

No other Big Ten team recruited him, it was just OSU and Toledo.

Very few of the P5 players could get into clown college if they weren't world class athletes.
