Message: [QUOTE="leftytg, post: 1161993, member: 2651"] what you fail to mention is that Syracuse hadn't shown themselves remotely capable of slowing down the FSU offense, let alone stopping it. What good is it to score 3 when you are continually giving up 7? Also, the bolded is becoming a crutch on this board (not referring to you personally). Granted, Syracuse doesn't have the kind of high NFL draft pick "playmaking" talent at receiver that some other teams might have. But the receivers aren't terrible and, near the goal line, they are plenty capable of making plays. You don't need "playmakers" at receiver at the goal line so much as you need to be well coached - precise with your routes, with your timing, with accuracy throwing hte ball - and physical. Speed isn't such an issue over 6 yards, and Syracuse has big physical receivers, not to mention Custis. Rather than throw the fade, I'd have loved to see a well timed slant or quick out. [/QUOTE]
