Tanner Mordecai would have made no difference. He was grossly overrated and it is time to understand that we are building for the future and Locke is the future--or one of the other four or five scholarship QBs that we have. It was hopeful to hear Longo say that he is trying to run schemes that his personnel can execute. Next year we will look better; and the year after than will be the test. In the meantime, lets move on to the future and note that the defense did better than expected.
Number of 5-star recruits on Badger roster: 1 (OL Nolan Rucci).
Number of 4-star recruits on OSU roster: 52
Number of 4-star recruits on UW roster: 17
A huge talent gap. With the teams joining BIG, Wisconsin has to step up its recruiting or be relegated to playing tough games with small hope of winning.

Henderson and Harrsion...330 of OSU's 407 total yards. Two high quality, high speed guys that could not be contained all game. That is the difference.
Oh, and then there is this.
Marvin Harrison, Jr. - 5-star recruit
Treyveon Henderson - 5-star recruit.
Ohio St. total 5-star recruits 10
