If only we weren't put into the position to allow a single fumble to determine a 60 minute game played by 11 players. If only we didn't have to ride Duke all game, for most games in order to have any semblance of an offense.
No one is getting defensive. Your premise is just beyond retarded.
"If only we weren't..." has no bearing on this one. We were in that position. The fumble mattered. Just like the batted ball touchdown by Karlos Williams essentially sealed our fate.
Last year's team needed things to go the right way because of all of the things that were holding them back: coaching, scheme, talent, inexperience.
Turnovers are something that you try to minimize. Marginal teams can't lose the turnover battle and can't let the other team get all the breaks.
FSU got that KW TD and the no-call on the NOL fumble. Those mattered. Yes, so did our lack of halftime adjustments and the "let up" on offense. No dispute there, but plays matter whether you like it or not.
