Having later games makes a big difference, it allows recruits to make it and fly in for showcase games, you guys want noon kickoffs for Michigan, how exactly will out of state recruits make it in for such important games?
Having it at 3:30/8 kickoff means we can load up on kids for multiple classes to make it, most kids who are good at football tend to play into late Nov/Dec so we need to use our biggest rivalry to our advantage, especially with OOS kids flying in, it's not the 70's through 90's we need out of state talent bad to compete nationally.
In this exerpt it's clear our noon kickoffs will cost us the chance to close on one of our biggest recruits.
"“It’s hard for [the Michigan game] as well,” Battle said. “It’s hard for that game as well. It’s playoff season and they have practice on Saturdays. It may not happen.”
