Could an ALL Stoops team win a Natty?

I would argue Lynn Bowden is the best QB under Stoops. He was unstoppable at times. Closest we had to elite.

Came within 9 yards of breaking Cam Newton’s QB single-season rushing record!!

OK, so our All-Star team has a lot of “Wild Cat” mixed in with LBJ!!

No, huge weakness at QB; not elite level.

I think a healthy ‘22 Levis is as good as JJ McCarthy

That’s where I see it .. not enough QB talent

The real OP is a Natty, not games against others’ All Stars.

With Levis and all the Kentucky All Stars, I think that team is as good or better than a few of the Bama and Georgia teams with “game-manager” type QB’s who won a title or got damn near.

My view of Will and his overall talent level doesn’t exactly jive with most of my Ky brethren .

Levis makes too many terrible decisions and passes to win a natty.

He did not see the field great when he was here. However, with an all-star OL and that many weapons... Bowden, Wandale, Key, Badet, Juice Johnson, etc., I think his decision-making would be a lot easier b/c those guys would really put the defense on their heels.

I agree. But I also think most top 25 programs if given a 12+ year super team would be title contenders.

Yup.

Luckett said something the other day that I thought was ridiculous. He said if you made a super team of all the best players of the Stoops era its still wouldn't be good enough to win a title. I think that's insane. You would have a ridiculous Defense. Think of that D-line Allen, Walker, Dupree, Zadarius, Paschal, Bohanna....etc. You would have an all time stable of backs, All NFL offensive line, Best receiving core in the country and a healthy '22 Levis. I think that team would be a title contender this year. What do you guys think?

Again this is if you transported that team magically into this season with all other teams having their current rosters.

The Blue Chip ratio needed for national title consideration is considered 50%. The elite teams have 60-75%. An all Stoops team would be above that given that you would be magically taking the best players from different seasons and having them play during their best year. Ann all Stoops team would be favored to win a national championship if they were playing against regular competition. He would have All-Americans or All SEC at just about every position. Frankly, it wouldn't even be terribly close. They would be the most talented team in the country.
