I'm very sorry if this is addressed in other posts.

I frequently wonder about the following scenario. Today made it quite clear that I'm not losing my mind. Any thoughts, experienced opinions, or simply random bouts of venting, are appreciated:

Take all of our players.
Trade them with Wisconsin's players.
Put them both through Spring camp, regular training camp, even with the same years of experience each player has had.
What happens today?

I'm not naive to think that the "athletes" have something to do with things, but I've followed this team long enough to feel pretty darn certain that coaching plays a very large role.

Please tell me I'm right, I'm partly right, I'm wrong, I'm partly wrong, I'm very wrong.
Please tell me something.

Thanks in advance.

It would be a close game. Wisconsin has better athletes/players at every position. Schiano would stifle them, play not to lose etc. One team would win 10-7.

RU's offensive coaching would screw-up Caleb Williams and Shedeur Sanders.
When it comes to QBs RU = the Jets

RU still loses because a bunch of starters would be hurt, the replacements would not be prepared, the offensive playbook would still have 3 plays, and the defense wouldn't be able to deal with any offense that posseses even minimal sophistication.
