Talent isn't everthing

[mijaha]

If we had Auburns talent on the D-Line and there, lack of talent in the secondary, we'd be talking about DBacks now. It's so true, we can't expect to man every position with a 4 or 5* recruit. But this coaching staff is making the best from what they have. I'll take our secondary over there's any day of the week. And just as there D-Line exploited our offensive line on a number of plays. Just think what a field day sCam Newton would have had throwing against a seconday like Auburns. Do we need better DLine players, yes. We're we over-matched, slightly(in my opinion). Can a good coaching staff adjust the flow of the game to offset a team like Auburns strenght up front, absolutely. And I think we did, with some exceptions.
Our overall talent level was very comparable to Auburns, hence the score of the game. I personally still believe the better team didn't win. A "player" or two affected the outcome of the game. 9 times out of 10, I believe our team, with our talent, beats any team in the country. We are that close!!
My sentiments were echoed by a number of Auburn fans before the game. Especially regarding their secondary, and wide recievers. Very thin at wide receiver, is how one fan put it. We've loaded up at almost every skill position. Depth that most teams would die for. I'm going to be patient with our coaching staff, because they know a hell of a lot more than I do, and they took us to the Natty for God's sake.

No they dont.

Really? Hmmmmm... last I checked they did. Like during the 2010 season. And they're pulling in another top 10 class this season.

Whatever, I'm not gonna argue the point. It's pretty obvious the we already have tons of talent. Enough to win a championship fosho.

Bringing in another top 10 classes doesn't automatically qualify them for laying claim to having the most talented roster in the nation.

^^^ While I agree that it doesn't mean they have the most talent, they previous claim was that they had more talent than just about anyone. SO, he wasn't saying the had the most. He said they have more than almost everyone. Based on their top rated recruiting classes every year, it's a fair statement.

I think we just have a miscommunication here.

exactly. i don't see how some could say that the trojans don't have loads of talent with a straight face.

The trojans have had the most talent for years. Phil Steele who does a compilation of all the top recruiting services rated U$C's recruiting #1 2005, #1 2006, #1 2007, #4 2008, #3 2009.

Far better recruiting classes than anyone in the country.
