Agreed.
People like to oversimplify and yell about "talent", particularly when another team took a guy that we didn't, and then that guy excels.
But when we gave up over 500 yards of rushing to North Carolina, it was with a defensive line that might have as many as 3 first rounders out of the 4 spots. And when NO Defensive Back lined up against the OK State WR on third down, that wasn't a "talent" issue as much as a poor coaching and/or poor prep situation.
We may not yet have the "talent" to beat Clemson, but we sure as **** have the talent to beat North Carolina and Oklahoma State.
Talent allowed us to win games we normally would have lost (VaTech, U of L and Pitt). We were outcoached in those games in my opinion. We just had enough big plays to win.
