I think Slide will agree, and add his typical added insights, that it's timing and the golf course.

It's just one week of many.  Some weeks it's there and some it's not.

And some courses set up for some guy's games and eyes, and some don't. 

This is basically a Nicklaus course, which famously sets up for Jack's game: the long high fade.  Jack thinks that's the real measure of a golfer.  Lots of guys from West Texas can drill the long low draw, and play Bomg and Gouge.  Hit it long and then get it out of trouble if you find it.  This isn't that kind of course.  And that may be why Texas, a very good team, is gone.

Being near Jack's home, Illini likely sees a lot of Jack courses.  USF sees lot of this course; it's their home course.

And as for our guys, we weren't a top ten team this season.  We made a great run at the end, but we did it with one superstar but no srong second.  Boote was a credible enough number three.  Swegle and Huang were rookies but are showing some growth. But we're no where near Illinois's class.  They have three #1s.
