    Is It Settled?

    If you plug Kimble, Long or Wilson into the QB spot vs. ND... Can you imagine them keeping it within 2 scores?

    4-8, 5-7, 3-9, 3-9, 6-7

    The team that Shafe is forced to put out there due to injuries -- at least on offense -- is akin to just about any of the worst units Marrone had to put out there.

    Is It Settled?

    Hunt took on the hardest part of the schedule. With McDonald as OC, who everyone thought was terrible. Is that his fault? Wilson can throw hard, but that doesn't make him a good QB. He looked absolutely awful. AJ turns the ball over too often. Kimble at least knew when to tuck and run...

    why oh why was kimble in

    He was actually able to make some nice plays. Threw a pretty good deep ball. Austin Wilson is bad. Actually felt much better with Mitch in the game. Need a QB who can run. Especially if he can't throw.

    one thing..no team could lose their top 2 qb's and

    A national joke with these injuries, sure. A national joke without any injuries, no. It'd sure be nice to have the real 1st team offense available.

    Is It Settled?

    There is no better QB on the roster than Hunt. Felt like 90% of the board was ready to get rid of him. Which is why no one here is a Division I coach.

    Why Syracuse Will Win

    The game will probably be closer than most are expecting. Running the ball will play into SU's hands moreso than Duke's. Their O is good, not great. Our D is great, but can get burned. Interesting matchup. With the "infrastructure" of the offense was in tact, or else I'd calll it a W...

    The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

    Athletic Department is a mess? What? SU has some of the best non-revenue sports teams in the NCAA, not just the ACC. Sure, there may be some small stuff happening with JB and the boys, but that's relatively minor in the grand scheme of things.

    I'm not with

    No immediate concerns, plus there have been too many changes this season (loss of best QB, new OC, patch-work OL) to really genuinely get a feel for Shafe. An easier schedule, a healthy team and some stability in the coaching staff, and I think SU has a very good team next year.

    Offensive Line Play

    Yeah, the # of sacks up until the Clemson game had been excellent. Now... I just don't think everyone's as healthy as we imagine, even if they're playing the whole game. AJ hasn't been quite as successful tucking and running as Hunt had been, which has been a factor. We really miss that...

    more hunt vs long stats. what does it say about lester?

    Hunt will come in and I'd imagine that SU will still do a bunch of zone read, minus all the bubble screens. I like Hunt's ability to run more than I like anything Long does, even his deep ball. Hunt has picked up some very tough 3rd down and longs with his legs, albeit with a healthy and...

    Shafer: "Tim's our offensive coordinator moving forward."

    It wasn't a great playcall. You really need an OL who can keep everyone out of the backfield for about 3 seconds while that develops. Maybe even longer. Mo died when AJ threw the pick 6, though. Give credit where credit is due, that was George, not Lester. He's had Gumby at QB, which...

    Shafer: "Tim's our offensive coordinator moving forward."

    Right, because Lester and McDonald have complete control over losing 6 offensive starters to injury. Maybe you should start another thread about the negative effect of dome dogs having on crowd noise.

    Should Shafer be given a 3rd year? (LONG)

    I don't think so. Down 4 of your best OL, your starting QB, two starting WRs is Shafer's fault? AJ made a bad throw that eventually decided the game, unfortunately. I like what the team can do at full strength. I wasn't ready to anoint AJ as the second coming when he played well. The...

    This disturbs me

    If you think SU isn't after some of the big boys, you don't pay attention to recruiting -- plain and simple.

    Mistake made pulling Longs redshirt

    They were forced into it, but Everyone anointing Long as the second coming was way too soon. Hunt is the best QB on the team. The coaches knew that. He didn't have Lester calling his plays. Can't wait for him to come back. He adds much more to the offense than anyone else on the roster.

    if it's good enough for gary patterson, it's good enough for us

    Call me crazy, but I really liked what Marrone's offensive scheme. I'm not sure what it would have morphed into with what would have come recruiting-wise, it seems as if he was really open to letting a QB who has some legs run. Nassib wasn't a great runner, but still got to take the ball 5-6...

    Winston showed one thing last night

    Winston has the help of some of the best athletes in the country lining up 1v1 most snaps, too. That first TD, where there was a blown coverage, was still a great throw by Jameis. Guy didn't have to slow down to catch it; still hit him in stride. On the football field, he's the real deal.
