No preamble. Let's get right to it.
Good morning. Al Golden coming on the Joe Rose Show right now. #Canes
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "It was tough. We had our opportunities. We have nobody to blame but ourselves."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden gave his thoughts on why the Canes came up short
Golden: "We had to win the explosive play battle and missed a couple. Needed to win the turnover battle."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "We just didn't make enough plays, and give them (FSU) credit: they made enough plays down the stretch"
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
This next part was really the turning point of the game to me
Rose and Golden recalling the end of the 1H, when Berrios dropped the TD and Badgely missed the FG.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "If we score there, then come back and score to start 2H, that would have put pressure on them."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "We just didn't make the plays" Talks about near INT on first play of 2H. Missed shot up sideline to Coley.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden mentions the tipped ball TD. 4pt swing on a good defensive play
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden now recalling different positive plays in the 2nd Half. And mentions 2 batted balls that would have been to wide open guys
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden also mentions Dobard's fumble, then missed tackles on a couple of long FSU runs.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Trinidad Brad time? Trinidad Brad time.
Joe Rose now asking about Brad Kaaya. I have a feeling Golden is going to wax poetic about the QB right now
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "We asked him to do a lot all year, particularly early in the year, and he just kept improving. And he's bringing that to the game"
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "You're starting to see great ball protection, and even more of Brad's personality out there."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden mentioned the last throw interception. Also says he's excited for Kaaya's current play and future potential
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Joe Rose asked Golden a couple of questions about FSU next
Golden "FSU believes in their QB. They believe he's going to lead them back, and make some plays to win. He's a huge talent."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden says #Canes knew that FSU's M.O. was to get down and then come back late.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden says #Canes missed multiple shots in 2H. Says Lewis held on a wheel route. Wished PA to Yearby in flat was complete. Huge yards there
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "We just needed 1 more play. And we weren't able to make it. And I have to find a way for us to make that play"
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Say what you will about the coachspeak, but I'd rather a coach who supports our players than one who throws them under the bus at any chance (wassup, Brian Kelly?)
When asked if he's frustrated in the way the team is playing, Golden instead highlights leadership and performance of individuals
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden "You can't get frustrated. I think we played well. We just needed to make a couple more plays."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Can't dwell on the loss. Or, as many say, "Can't let FSU beat you twice"
Golden says the team has to move forward quickly. Cites UVa running game a stiff challenge to face this week
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Next, Golden talked Crootin'
Golden now talking about the recruiting aspect of Saturday's game. "They get exposed to great college football. They see our style of play"
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden says that #Canes can only bring recruits in to 1 game (NCAA probation). Makes for different recruiting landscape
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden also mentioned that multiple players on the roster were able to come to a vast number of games in the recruiting section when they were in HS. Yeah, the NCAA thing is still around, but it's NOT the major roadblock that it once was.
Back to the ballgame
Golden now talking about Dorsett's game, and Walford's 61yd TD where he ran away from FSU DBs.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden talking about other contributors now. Flowers. Darling. Feliciano. Chad Thomas.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden praised Flowers for quite a while. Really incredible that he had knee surgery and was back on the field so quickly. Played every snap at LT.
Golden says he knows which NFL guys come to each game. "We've known them for years"
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Grace, Kirby, Armbrister, Burns, Bush all mentioned as having strong games.
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
Golden says Bush and Chickillo are "day to day right now. We'll know more here today."
— StateOfTheU.com (@TheStateOfTheU) November 17, 2014
And that's the end of Al Golden's weekly appearance on the Joe Rose Show.
