If they didn't quote Axe they had a story of 25 words. Horrible story though mostly true. We are better but we will know if we are good in the next 7 weeks.
We also have to remember this offense is an evolving process as it is new for everyone. As the season progresses I believe that we will see a more dynamic and productive offense. If we look back at the Wagner game we saw some of the adjustments made to the OL scheme to bring back the gaps for the running game to explode. Saw a lot of pulling guards and cross blocking. I am excited and pretty confident that this team is going to surprise many with some of their wins.
We saw some new stuff vs Wagner we have not run all year.. another 2 weeks to work on things I would expect a few new wrinkles next week as well.
Yeah, I think if anything, even though the metrics support it, it's not accurate to say we've had an easy schedule. We still played 3 P5 teams. Those are still always tough games. It just so happens 2 of the 3 programs appear to be underperforming against preseason expectations.
Absolutely, that's why I mentioned cleaning stuff up. I was just pointing out the article was pretty fair. They weren't dumping on us when talking about our upcoming challenges.
The last two times Cuse has beaten 3 P5 teams in a season are the last two times Cuse made a bowl.
Which tracks given our history of over scheduling OOC.
Yea but nobody mentions that we lost 3 games by 3 points to Clemson, FSU, and WF, so idgaf how we win just as long as we win. If those had gone the other way do you think we would have been picked last in the preseason poll? Interesting the article didn’t mention Louisville and how everybody was drooling over Cunningham this preseason . Plus the same Purdue team just beat undefeated Minnesota at their place.
YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH MATTHEW EDWARDS
Sure. Let's make them give us respect over the next three games. It's up to our team now to prove them wrong.
We tried to hire Matthew Edwards.
Weird article. Btw, it’s interesting how many reporters knock Cuse for winning the Virginia game in tight fashion. They completely ignore the fact that this team persevered through 4 turnovers and 12 penalties. I don’t know the win probability of those two combined exactly, but I know it’s less than 9%. And that type of game hasn’t been the norm.
Oh yeah it is that guy! good call
Why is it a weird article?
If Syracuse was Alabama, they’d be seen as a championship team fighting through adversity, but since they’re Syracuse they’re seen as a frauds getting lucky.
The article seemed to go guardrail to guardrail. Praised Anae and Co, but then downplayed their success heavily as well.
Exactly.
I didn't read it like that. I read it as praising their overall success but casting some doubt on our particular season so far because we hadn't yet faced the toughest part of our schedule.
