AJ Dillon comes to mind too.

Well, yeah.

Not sure of the joke or the "well yeah" conversation you're having quoting yourself, but Dillon was committed to Michigan and then flipped to BC. And it seemed you were saying that UW wanted Dillon too, which I seem to recall being true (that these three teams made up his short list).

AJ Dillon comes to mind too.

He's really really good, and I'd have loved to have him at Michigan. But he isn't on the level of Marshall Faulk or Steve McNair. You're talking about two of the ALL-TIME greats in college & pros right there. AJ Dillon is very good. Excellent player actually. He ain't nowhere near them dudes though. And he wouldn't have pushed Michigan over the top in 2017 or 2018 to a title.

Florida wins another title in the 90s with Air McNair as their starting QB imo and Miami wins another title with Marshall Faulk as their starting RB in the 90s imo.

Still not sure of the sauce joke. I figured you thought I was off-topic. 

Not at all. It's just that you posted about Dillon, immediately in the post after I posted about Dillon.


(and then you started a new Michigan MTSU thread when we already had one, against convention)

At this point I'm more so presenting commentary on the B12; 2 points based on looking at the conference's signing classes last FEB:

1. All of the Top 20 recruits signed with either OKLAHOMA or TEXAS

2. All of the Top 8 recruits are on the offensive side of the ball, 7 of those 8 are skill positions

Alex T: "A Two team conference emphasizing offense"
Jeopardy: "What is the Big 12"

And, yet, even the "little" teams often hold their own in bowl games.  IIRC, the Big 12 was second in the "whatever cup" for best bowl-game record last year.

Devil’s advocate post here.  McNair isn’t an all time great NFL QB.  He was a good, solid QB.  He wasn’t an all-timer in either stats or accomplishments.  Could he have pushed UF to a national title?  Sure, I mean, who the hell knows?  It’s not a crazy argument but not rock solid either.  Would have been fun to see though.

The thing with Miami and Faulk is that Miami already was so damn good while Faulk was in college I’m not sure how much better he could have made them.  They went undefeated and won a split title in ‘91.  They went 11-1 in ‘92 and lost the national title by basically losing decisively to Alabama in the Sugar.  Not sure Faulk makes them 3 TD’s better in that game.

He probably does make them better in ‘93 but I don’t if it’s national title better.  They lost 28-10 to FSU so, again, I don’t know if a RB swings a game 18 points.  They lost 17-14 to WVU and I can definitely see the argument with Faulk in the backfield maybe that’s a different outcome.  Then they got blitzed by Arizona in the Fiesta.  But if you imagine a win against WVU then they are playing a different, more important bowl and probably in the NC discussion.  But even then they probably take WVU’s spot in the Sugar and even with a win it wouldn’t be enough to overcome FSU’s head to head win over them earlier in the year.  Of course, in that scenario they are playing a Steve McNair led UF squad so who knows how that plays out.  Right?  Lol.  I’m probably overthinking what just an off the cuff comment by you anyway.
