Think about it, they play every year in the NC game. They have a 10-year W/L record better than every other team at any level, including Alabama. They have accomplished this with three different head coaches.
I have my thoughts on how they are able to keep this going every year, no matter who their head coach is:
1) They never change their system on offense or defense from coach-to-coach.
2) They focus on recruiting great offensive and defensive linemen, with the goal of dominating both lines-of-scrimmage every week
3) They play a run-first offensive style, with the run used to set-up the passing game
4) Because they are so good at running the football, they simply wear down teams as the game progresses. In looking at their second half scoring versus their opponents, it is way more one-sided than most any team I have witnessed. You might hang with them in the first half, but they will make you pay after half-time.
5) They recruit nationally. They have players from 16 states on their roster, including several from the recruiting meccas of Florida and Texas
Any other thoughts?
