Unrealized Gains or Unrealized Losses

God. So much about that article is dead on.

The regression on 3rd down can only be laid at the feets of Golden and Foley.

Duke's injury is a mitigating factor, but that's a stark decline, against progressively less-talented squads.

This article was pure honesty!! Definitely made sense.

I think it's inevitable that we get "back" based on geography alone. What kinda worries me is if we can ever stay back for long stretches which is way more difficult. The way our program is structured within the school it takes us way longer to recover when we do fall. It's like we have success and the school just accepts it as the status quo instead of trying to build upon and foster more success. It shouldn't have been basically a decade of mediocrity before we got some of these fundraising and facility improvements.

I agree Gator Hater we seem to have lost some of our mystique.. We play down to competition and teams are no longer afraid of us when we walk in the building. I think it's more coaching than it is talent. A good coach can pull the talent out of you or make you play up to another level.

Glad im not the only one who thinks we play to down to a lower competition's level. For example, no way Wake Forest should have been in the game the way they were last year.

We have not been playing down to lesser competition in at least the last 5 years. Our results match what we have been over the last several years, a mediocre ACC team.

All I know is we played down to WF last year. They had no business being in that game against us. We got caught looking ahead to the FSU game.
