Message: [QUOTE="Doctor44, post: 1446125, member: 2658"] So Athlon sports does this thing every year where they have coaches make comments about other teams in the their conference. Here's what was said about SU and it seems pretty spot on. You can tell which ones came from FSU [B][URL='http://athlonsports.com/college-football/teams/syracuse-orange'][B]Syracuse[/B][/URL][/B] [URL='http://shop.athlonsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_488_35_493&products_id=26577'][IMG]http://shop.athlonsports.com/images/v65_Syracuse_2015.jpg[/IMG][/URL] “They’re one of the most unique teams we play because defensively, it’s like they’re always just coming after you.” “They play a lot of zone and blitz a lot but whatever the book says, they’ll do the opposite. If it says you’re supposed to sit back and play coverage, they’re coming. As a play-caller, you’re trying to get in a rhythm and build one thing into the next, but they’re coming from everywhere.” “I don’t want to say they’re unsound, but they’re just always turning guys loose and if you can get the ball out you have a chance to hit them in the mouth, and if they have a busted protection you’re going to hit them.” “They struggled offensively before the quarterback (Terrel Hunt) got hurt and struggled even more after he got hurt.” “Watching them on film, it seemed like they were trying to do way too much to compensate for the fact that they didn’t have enough playmakers. The probably outsmarted themselves a little bit.” “What’s their bread and butter? If they can figure that out they may have a chance because their defense will keep them in some games but they’re probably not going to beat you throwing the ball.” - See more at: [URL]http://athlonsports.com/college-football/acc-coaches-talk-anonymously-about-conference-foes-2015#sthash.OV8sb1xd.dpuf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
