How many times did Peterman beat Sark again?

big sample size you're working with there. And on a neutral field he beat us with talent that out of high school was rated lower

Yet, if Vegas could line up Peterman's 52 vs. Sark's 73 for a game to be played today, Sark would be a heavy underdog.

The real basis for your assumption appears to include a large void comprised mostly of what good coaching staffs do to identify qualified recruits and the development they provide the LOI signees during the first 2 to 3 years of their college experience.

As the best head football coach UW ever had (prior to CP) used to pound into our fanatically thick skulls, recruiting up to 25 football playing athletes is hard work in the preparation which comes with some inherent risk. Collegiate coaches can make mistakes in qualifying recruiting prospects for their program, both athletically and academically, and might sometimes misjudge recruits as to whether or not the kids will fit in the program as OKG's. And all this risk and doubt takes place before the excitement of lining up 15 to 25 LOI signees to brag about to the media.

The college football recruiters qualification that: "We won't know how good this class is for at least three years". That is the general timeline when they all should be contributing as starters, backups, or on special teams, providing the attrition of injury, academic dropout, or simple loss of interest in football doesn't a recruiting class out. Very few redshirt freshmen and fewer true freshmen are ready to play Pac-12 football and it must take time for most scholarship athletes to develop their potential as college men.

Judging from prospect ratings assigned by non-coaching and often football-stupid media recruiting experts, some coaches recruit well and others not so well. Following LOI day, some coaches regardless of how well they recruited fall a little or a lot short on developing their recruits into the best they can be. Other coaches who are mediocre recruiters as judged by the media somehow find ways to win an unusually high percentage of their games....... how on earth do they do it?

Is NWG playing like a 5 star? According to his 13 ppg, I was told by Scout.com he was not a 5 star, he would be average without 5 star athletic ability
