Duke Game Thread...

[SUskibum]

Do teams ever miss long field goals against us? I know the wind makes the distance easy to get but still college kickers usually kick it wide a lot.

they missed a 42 against us already?

 

[syrBossHogg]

Need a good 3rd quarter and punch out this Duke team

 

[ForCuseSake]

Jahwar for Riley to receive the 2nd half kick?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Offense was terrible that quarter. Wind or not.

He missed the shorter one earlier.

Still love that Eric Wood has been an analyst for a bunch of our games this year. Go Bills!

Play calling in the last two or three possessions you have to scratch your head

 

[OrangeDW]

Riley has been awful this year. Another drop on special teams. We have to have better options than him.

And he’s not even fast. He’s short, slow, can’t catch, and makes bad decisions.

He’s a reckless Max Miesel with bad hands.

 

[All4SU]

I miss Brisley Estime.

I miss Scott Schwedes.

I’ve enjoyed his commentary during our games. He’s good.

HT Stats

Near the end of the half with the clock running down., Syracuse runs up the middle of the field.
Near the end of the half with the clock running down, Duke is throwing quick passes, mainly toward the sidelines.

Emblematic of the curious offensive play-calling all season long and at times last season. It's almost like they have an idea of what they want to do, and they do not change that regardless of personnel issues, defensive adjustments, time left on the clock, etc. Even DeLeone made logical adjustments.

That one he was kicking against the wind.

 

[Finwad32]

Feed Mo, get Tommy rollin’ with some designed stuff. Should get a shot play early in the 2nd half.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

I think we're bigger than Duke so the oline is finally not getting their pushed in.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Staying in the mancave makes me a good football fan.

But missing a home basketball game makes me a bad hoops fan.

 

[FllCrtPrss]

I mean that's pretty long yeah but I'm talking over 50 yards. It feels like most kicks over 50 are good against us.

[rrlbees]

That’s it. No more Riley returns please

You think the wind might be playing havoc with the kicks?

 

[djorange1989]

Well it took seven games but we have our first halftime lead against a Power 5 opponent

 

[SURules]

Is Mark Richt 1/2 drunk?

 

[FloridaFan]

You think the wind might be playing havoc with the kicks?

It may be. I’m just scarred I guess. If he struggles this quarter I can’t do it no more

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That note about the wind means we need to strike in the 3rd.

 

[CuseLegacy]

 

[FloridaFan]

Well it took seven games but we have our first halftime lead against a Power 5 opponent

Hasn’t it been whoever takes the lead first in our games wins every one? Good tidings there

 

[All4SU]

Need a big third quarter with the wind, and then hope the wind stops in the 4th.
