Notre Dame?s record since bringing in those high recruits is 16-20. When looking at a team with such great talent that performs at such a low level, the blame has to be placed on the head coach. When Weis was hired, he inherited a talented, seasoned team Rodriguez wasn?t so lucky. Before he even had a chance to call his first practice, Rodriguez lost most of his offense to the NFL. Jake Long, Chad Henne, Mike Hart, and Mario Manningham were all drafted, leaving the offensive cupboard all but bare. Compounding that, several players bolted for fear that their playing style simply wouldn?t mesh with the spread offense. QB Ryan Mallett transferred to Arkansas, which boasted a much more traditional offense that suited the 6?7? sophomore.
RB Sam McGuffie transferred to Rice, where the spread offense was already instituted and well established, not to mention closer to home keith urban posters . OL Justin Boren found the transition to be so jarring, he decided to transfer to arch-rival Ohio State. While Rodriguez?s tenure certainly hasn?t been a rousing success to this point, take a look at what the program looked like upon his arrival ww keithurban .

The opening ?shocker? against Utah turned out to be an acceptable loss, considering five months later, Utah would be beating down mighty Alabama 31-17 in the Sugar Bowl youtube keithurban . Penn State and Ohio State were co-Big 10 champs, and Michigan State went 9-4, as did Northwestern The losses to Notre Dame and Illinois were disappointing. And while losing to Toledo and Purdue seemed inexcusable, those feelings lessen given the personnel Rodriguez had to work within his system. The merits of that system have been questioned as well. What kind of success could be expected of the spread offense in the Big 10? Just ask Ohio State. In the 2007 BCS title game a heavily favored Ohio State team faced off against a Florida Gators team featuring a spread offense.
At the end of the night, OSU had no answer for Florida?s speed and ended up getting throttled 41-14. A year later, Ohio State faced LSU in the title game . LSU?s spread offense ripped the vaunted Ohio State defense for over 300 yards and 38 points keithurban ent . When up and running smoothly, the spread offense has proven it can be successful, even against some of the top defenses in the nation. This past season, Rodriguez has improved the win total, if only modestly, and he did so with his first full recruiting class keithurban music . There is only upside to freshmen Tate Forcier and Vincent Smith . This past season, Michigan ranked fourth in the Big 10 in both scoring and rushing yards.
