Lots of yes. Seems like the overall talent outside of 3-4 guys though is typically lower than the competition in late playoff games. Not bad football players, still great high school players actually, but not the high end speed or size that later playoff teams to seem to have at every position. Look at the offensive line size last year. Lots of 5-9 to 6’ 205 lbs types. Great in salems scheme but they aren’t Alex light high end potential.
I’m just bitter we didn’t have any of those sec types when I was playing!
