Syracuse football fans enjoyed southern hospitality at LSU (photographer's view) (PS; photo gallery; Nett)
Tell the Truth Monday: Syracuse (andthevalleyshook.com; Crewe)
Already tired of hearing how this is the worst performance in years. It’s as if the entire fanbase slept walked through the last 4.25 years of the Les Miles era. Does no one remember limping to a 10 point victory vs Syracuse just two years ago?
- I drank around 12 Miller Lites during this game, so my opinions are immensely qualified.
- You can’t do trial by fire with your backup QB without fire. If LSU used Brennan while leading comfortably, it wouldn’t have given the desired experience.
- I stayed up until 1 a.m. EST drinking with my brother-in-law before catching a 6 a.m. flight back to LA. We all have our trials by fire.
- Fans feel much more uncomfortable with the Brennan experiment because Etling hasn’t earned their trust. They aren’t sure he’s the starting quarterback. O wouldn’t make that move if he wasn’t.
- The immense number of significant contributors that are underclassmen make this a young team. People saying otherwise are lying.
- A lot of the fanbase hasn’t recovered from Miles being fired, despite their insistence so. Things excused for half a decade are now immediately brought up to critique O. It’s okay, just admit you miss Les.
- Miles would often revert to conservative styles in ugly games that never pushed his teams to work on weaknesses like making plays in the passing game when the running game isn’t there. It’s never fun to watch but O was clearly trying to work on pain points.

Syracuse football head coach Dino Babers spoke on Eric Dungey’s career and play on Saturday, comparing him to a Pro Football Hall of Famer in Brett Favre
Much has been said about star Syracuse football player Eric Dungey during his career in Orange. He’s been dynamic, injury prone, and even a Heisman hopeful.
Although through the first four games of this young season for the Orange, he remains upright.
On the season he’s thrown for over 1,000 yards with a 63% completion percentage with six touchdown strikes to only three interceptions. He’s on pace for a 3,100+ yard, 18 touchdown, and 9 interception season. All of those numbers would be career highs for the junior quarterback.
Everyone loves the pro player comparison and head coach Dino Babers gave reporters one in his weekly press conference:
“When you look at Eric, you see a supreme competitor, sometimes too competitive. I remember a guy and I don’t watch a lot of pro football, but I think Brett Favre was like that in his early years. Super competitive, and sometimes you can see the outer energy of his competitiveness. Sometimes as a quarterback you’ve got to keep that inside. But you talk about Dungey and the way he performed Saturday. He gave us every opportunity to win that game and I’m really proud of his performance.”

The Louisville football team did not help or hurt itself in the ACC race Saturday with its 42-3 nonconference win against Kent State.
But there was plenty of moving and shaking elsewhere in the conference. Favorites struggled. Underdogs fought. Many results affect the rest of U of L’s season.
Here’s a recap:
Clemson 34, Boston College 7: This score is misleading. A week after dominating Louisville at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, No. 2 Clemson struggled mightily in putting away lowly Boston College. The Tigers led just 14-7 midway through the fourth quarter before they scored three quick insurance touchdowns to pad their lead.
So Clemson holds serve for now, but the Tigers are still worth watching down the road. They looked unbeatable in Louisville last week, and a little less so Saturday, as quarterback Kelly Bryant threw for 140 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. It still looks unlikely that Clemson will lose twice to fall behind Louisville in the Atlantic Division, but it looks more possible. At least, Saturday’s primetime night game at No. 13 Virginia Tech will be interesting. After that, who knows?

N.C. State 27, Florida State 21: A brutal start to the season continued for the 12th-ranked Seminoles. They drew a No. 3 preseason ranking but have since lost starting quarterback Deondre Francois to a season-ending knee injury, suffered damage from Hurricane Irma and started 0-2 for the first time since 1989.
Louisville’s Oct. 21 trip to Tallahassee looks even more winnable now. Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ visit to N.C. State (3-1) might be tricky on Oct. 5. Along the way, Louisville might need one of those teams to upset Clemson to have a chance at a division title.
