[QUOTE="Frank, post: 1974848, member: 748262"] Very good point about our game plan to neutralize Goldin. It worked, not going to argue that. But you also left out the second part about a top player being out...which, when assessing a team's [B][U]CEILING[/U][/B], is a valid thing to flag. Laughable is ignoring what's right in front of you. And again, just so we're clear, I feel it's necessary to re-state that I don't think Boyd being out takes anything away from this win. We beat a really, really good team that played a great game. My comment was responding to somebody else's claim that FAU was at their ceiling tonight. As good as we played when we took down #2 Michigan without Ayo a few years back, I don't think anybody would've said we were at our ceiling. We still had a higher level to theoretically hit with him in the fold. Same concept here. [/QUOTE]
