Yep. We just got out played. Out coached. BYU had a want in them we did not have.

There was a talent gap or we would have been blown out because they controlled most of the game. Regardless what the yards and time of possession say.

This proves the talent gap is clearly not enough. It takes coaching with fire, for a purpose, and players who play with demon possessed emotion and reckless abondon. Sure, there is fire and purpose in the lockerroom. But this year, it doesn't look like the other top 10 big time matchups. We are much more reserved in a relative sense.

Though NDs talent is possibly at the highest it has ever been. Some of the best in the country, and things are pointing up in a very good way. We have very few demon possessed, play with your hair-on-fire, infectious personalities on the team. KVA, might be the only player who qualifies.

In tight games, in top 10 time match ups, this is the type of charater trait that separates the winners from the losers. It's the hole notion of "the bad guy always gets the girls." So far, we have proven... to still be on the wrong side of this divide.
