    Class of 2020 New Commit: Owen Hiltz (IN: Culver) Attack / Flip from Denver

    I rarely hear you gush over a player like this, Is Hiltz that good? Like starting on attack good?

    Yes, the Last Minute was an S-show Because...

    As the OP hints, this game wasn't a disaster ... only the ending was. People are frustrated because NC-St is so easy to hate, and we had a chance to beat them. That's what made the last-minute confusion so disappointing ... that we were this close to a win against a top-4 conference foe...

    That's the worst end to a game I've ever seen

    After last night and today, I'm keeping a pair of scissors and a paper bag handy.

    NC State Game...

    I quieted my whole family down after the half ended ... with instructions to see if Richt would give an AH/southern-homer/poor sport take. Not only did he deliver for me, he used the possessive pronoun "our" to root openly on behalf of NC State. Amazing

    Sidibe getting an MRI

    We have 2 more games before Rutgirls. And we're going to need them. The team we saw last night loses by 20+ at the RAC. I'm not cliff-diving because it's the first game and we obviously weren't ready to play. But our perimeter defense looked as weak as I've seen it in years. Our defensive...

    Louisville Game...

    You're not wrong, but our defense isn't playing that poorly. It's our offense and special teams that are turning this game into an embarrassment. Last time we played these guys we couldn't get anywhere near Atwell or Cunnningham. This time they're both much better contained (so far). We are just...

    Class of 2022 JUCO OT/DT Percy Lewis (MS) Offered

    Of course. Obviously the staff would have to determine which side of the ball this kid would play on. What I will say is that he is the kind of earth-mover our defensive line desperately needs.

    Class of 2022 JUCO OT/DT Percy Lewis (MS) Offered

    The Hudl vid shows him (as a DT) clearing out half the offensive line and burying the QB. Ordinarily I'd like to see more than one highlight. But in this case, the potential is obvious. Let's get him.

    Class of 2022 PG Dior Johnson (NY / CA) Decommitted from Syracuse

    Not sure why, but a classic Tee cat-vid always puts things in perspective. :) Good to see you, brother. Dior probably ends up in the G-league ... and maybe we'll score another high-level player with all the interest he showed to the Cuse.

    Post SU-BC Thoughts

    Maybe my expectations are unrealistic, but rough guidelines for tackling responsibility on run fits should be: 40% on the DL; 30% on the LB's; 20% on the safeties; and 10% on other guys in the secondary. Might be slightly more with the LB's in the 335, but even so, our percentages are inverted...

    Class of 2022 SG Roddy Gayle (NY / Wasatch) Offered

    True on paper, but as you said above every school mentioned has a legacy of systematic cheating in recruiting. UNC's 18-year eligibility scam avoided disaster because of a gutless NCAA. But there's hope that Zona and KU are going to get time in the barrel. If they do, the "perception" out there...

    My Take

    Thanks for the write-up, Tom. No doubt the offense is leaving the defense on the field way too long. The D played hard against BC, never quit and finally stopped the run in the 4th QR. IMO this was because we stacked the box and BC, with a lead, didn't want to throw as much. But either way, we...

    Schedule update: ACC-Big 10 Challenge? Georgetown? Carrier Dome bubble?

    Never. The context is especially delicious - SU waltzing in (as usual in that era) with a lofty national ranking and high-flying athletes ready to administer a beat-down to rowdy RU fans. After the dunk, as much as I like to gripe about officiating, the ref's deserve credit for their (correct)...

    Schedule update: ACC-Big 10 Challenge? Georgetown? Carrier Dome bubble?

    This game won't be the same without RU's insanely jealous and bloodthirsty student section. IIRC the last three times they hosted us In Piscataway, they were on the business end of a top-10 spanking. This time the shoe will be on the other foot - as they're (pre-season) top 15 and we're not in...

    Jacobian Morgan - He Who Was Promised

    Xactly. I don't have a problem with Dino being realistic and tamping down expectations, but at least throw the kid a few bones: - Jacobian only knows a fraction of the offense, but what he did know he executed well and moved the ball. - Jecobian wasn't playing against a 1st team defense but...

    Might cut the cord

    Sinclair's poor management might be the opportunity that ACC fans (and the conference and Disney) have been looking for. Make them a low-ball offer and get those games on the air in the schools' prime viewing areas.

    Dome Close to Hosting Crowds Again?

    Without trying to descend into another Covid dispute, the duration of exposure is a known factor in SARS transmission. The risk increases if you're sitting near someone (who's infected) for longer than 10-15 minutes ... say at a bar, restaurant or sports facility ... because the potential viral...

    Sean Tucker

    I liked this post before the last line. My version would have been: Is Sean Tucker a freshman version of Travis Etienne who's [stuck playing for] going to upgrade Syracuse's running attack and help it compete better [rather than] with Clemson?

    ACC Network

    I believe the division of labor for RSN's is that the ACCN hires the announcers, FoxSports owns the regional broadcast rights and our favorite - Raycom - does the "production" (cameras, feed, etc). That would explain the amateur quality. As for the network dunce-squad, not only is it worthless...

    Class of 2021 RB Josh Hough ( MR PA FOOTBALL) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/16/20)

    Jordan. Hough as FB and Tucker as RB1. Or run a 2-back set like Clemson with Hough and Tucker, and put Jordan in the slot. Lots of talent ... hate to see any one of these guys on the bench.

    Class of 2021 RB Josh Hough ( MR PA FOOTBALL) SIGNED NLI TO SYRACUSE (12/16/20)

    Nice call on Jerome Smith. Tucker reminds me of Antione Bailey. Having Josh and Tucker (thunder and lightning) in the same backfield might be the best argument for the wishbone in Orange history.

    Taj Harris Suspended For Clemson Game

    We need Taj's vertical speed to stretch the defense, but his value is more than just the occasional long bomb. He's fearless across the middle, and the cushion he gets buys him space on sit-down routes (3d down). His weakness is 164 pounds .. which makes it hard to get a clean release against...

    Chambers done at PSU

    Agree ... it's not like they've suddenly grown a conscience and care about their players. They just want to tamp down the negative publicity temporarily.

    Dino and SU WRs

    They really hung in there. Rex struggled with interior passes, but Queely played well and Hendrix flashed what he could do. Taj's absence hurt us, although Rex's long bomb to NJ was sweet. We we building some ground/air balance until Tucker left the game. Defense (especially the secondary)...

    Taj gave the bird to the camera

    Doing something like that on TV is a poor reflection on the program and deserves a disciplinary consequence. But it shouldn't make Taj the team scapegoat for frustrated fans. I'd rather have a passionate player that makes a mistake than someone giggling on the sidelines as we get big-boyed by...

    It's going to take time to recover from losing that way to the likes of Liberty. But there were a few bright spots for SU I thought I'd point out. First of all, the OL played a pretty good game. Despite the string (6) of injuries and cobbled-together lineup, protection was a lot better. Rex was...
