And no argument here...strong believer in the old saying "It's more about the Jimmys and Joes, than the X's and O's." To a degree, it's population genetics...larger pool gives more specimens. My Dad played for Mullens in the 1930's, and he talked about them playing Beckley...said they just kept coming and coming and coming out of the locker room.

That said, scheming can help. See Giles and the evolution of offenses, see 3-3-5, see Press Virginia (hopefully next year).
