Have the Canes ever once played above their talent level with Gorlden at the helm?

I'll hang up and listen.

**** outta here! Above their talent level? This is Golden we're talking about.

How about AT their talent level.

Answer is 2. Vtech and UNC of this year. 2 out of 35.

Yeahhhh!
 
Last night. They are top 5 in recruiting every year and we are top 20. Also, we are missing about what 30 players from the past 5 classes? (EJ, Paul, Terry, AQM, Figueroa, etc.) Think that doesn't make a difference? With that said, we had the defending Champs on the ropes and just couldn't deliver the knockout blow, whether it be the td catch Berrios couldn't quite hold onto, the missed xp, the missed chipshot fg, the O'Leary fumble that wasn't even reviewed, the questionable officiating, the Dobard fumble, and most of all: the tipped pass that bounced 10 yards to the left directly into Williams hands as he is striding into the endzone. That play was so lucky it's not even funny. We had them stopped. Last night could've been a program changing win, but we're still making a lot of progress in the last four weeks. We need to keep building and win the last two and a bowl and carry momentum into next year. We do lose a lot of contributors, but we also retain a lot of talent and get AQM and Rayshawn Jenkins back.
 
We schit the bed. We did not play above our talent level for more than a couple stretches at a time.

I'm still waiting for someone to give me the game where we played above our talent.

Even the UF game wasn't a complete effort.
 
Well, define "talent" because we played toe to toe with a more talented team based on recruiting rankings and came up just short. Heck, we even outgained them! Same with the UF game last year. They out recruit us every year too and we beat them, period. GT is on Golden though.

Click to expand...

So that would imply that we have played a couple of games "close" to our talent lvl but not actually exceeded it.
