Yes he looks tentative and too cautious at times but maybe Golson learned one valuable lesson last year at Notre Dame, which is turnovers cause losses.

Everyone is beating up Miami for losing to Cincinnati, who lost to Temple and Memphis but Cincinnati actually dominated those two games, the only difference being the 8 turnovers they committed.

34-26 loss to Temple - Cincinnati had 34 first downs and 557 yards but had 5 turnovers (4 INTs and 1 fumble) versus 296 yards for Temple

53-46 loss to Memphis - Cincinnati had 38 first downs and 752 yards but had 3 INTs versus 570 yards for Memphis

Look at Bama's loss to Ole Miss. It was their 3 INTs that cost them that game, not the 2 fumbles on the kickoffs or those other fluky plays that Bama is still complaining about.

Notre Dame outgained Clemson 437 to 296 but had 4 turnovers (3 fumbles and 1 INT)

Ole Miss and UF had similar offensive stats except for turnovers. Ole Miss had 4 (3 fumbles and 1 INT). UF had zero.
