dammit mane... Ok golden slurpers Ill bich about why he couldnt win the MAC at Temple when he clearly had the best talent.. Matter of fact he didn't beat a team with a winning record in the mac... Who hired that bum??
You have to realize that when Golden took over at Temple they weren't the most talented team. In fact they got their teeth kicked in by nearly everyone in the MAC his first 2 years.
They didn't have the same number of scholarships as other MAC teams as they were penalized with the new APR stuff.
He built Temple into the talented MAC team they became that actually funded the NFL with high end talent.
And yes people bring up he never beat a MAC team with a winning record, but forget that, he beat a BCS team in UConn that had a winning record, which was much more impressive than beating a MAC team with a winning record. He also had them actually competing with Penn State.
Now about Duke, if you pay closer attention Duke's best talent was underclassmen.
Crowder was 1st team all ACC as a sophmore.
Cash was 1st team all ACC as a RS sophmore.
They had a junior LB that was 1st team all ACC also.
I would venture to guess Boone their QB will be preseason 2nd or 3rd team All ACC this year.
Duke may set a school record with draft picks next year.
We didn't have Duke, Dorsett, or Coley by halftime of the game so their went any talent advantage we had.
Duke could easily win 8-9 games again this year.
They are going to be solid again.
Also if we're going to bash Golden about losing to a team with 1 drafted player, he beat two teams with more drafted players and more talent in UF and UNC.
