Any buzz locally for this game?

Or is everyone resigned to post Angeli collapse?

No idea what to expect tomorrow.

One one hand, Pitt has had our number, and they are scoring tons of points with this new true freshman QB.

On the other, we're coming off of a bye week, and maybe Collins makes a jump. It's a night game, and hopefully the crowd will be fired up, and we'll have lots of recruits on hand. After blowing an opportunity to "steal" a road win against SMU, I'm sure that Fran will have the team highly motivated.

We're also dealing with lots of injuries, and Fran hasn't been great coming out of bye weeks.

So, who knows.

Well one thing is for sure after being @ Meiers last night coach said in not so many words looking at play calling and what is best for the talent and players vs just running some of the same plays (predictably). At least that is what I got out of some of the early convo.

Local buzz is essentially non-existent unfortunately. The gametime has gotten some buzz for those that tailgate but overall ya its a non story locally.

Yes. Picked up on that as well. Hopefully that means taking advantage of Rickie’s mobility a bit more. Giving Pitt’s propensity to blitz it could open up some potential chunk plays with his legs if he escapes the pocket.

No buzz until I get to the liquor store

Wait a minute! Did Fran not get the board memo that Jeff Nixon is greatest OC to ever grace a Syracuse sideline?

Im at the point now where i watch but expect very little so i dont get upset

 

[sufandu]

I've heard a lot of people are planning to get buzzed as a coping mechanism. Does that count?

Heck yeah. I am way more excited about the tailgate then the game this week. Going to be BUZZING for sure.

 

[OttosShoes]

From a football perspective, we're basically at 'survive the season'.

From a tailgate perspective, we've got a 7:30 kick and the lots open at 3:30. My moms bringing a toaster oven and I'm looking forward to making little stromboli while we stream the other games.

You can be a fan and have fun and have buzz for a game even if you're probably going to lose.

 

[tptcuse]

I wasn't planning on making the five hour drive up but changed my mind at the last minute. Night game, plus Pitt, plus wanting to see if we can turn things back around got the best of me. Hopefully it will be worth it. LGO!

That’s how I’ve been coping for the last 25 years of SU football

This is unfortunately true. ZERO local buzz

 

[CdnGuy]

There is a football game in the Dome on Saturday night and it's homecoming! There are many potential recruits attending. Get fired up!!! Orange!!!!

 

[SUFan44]

Yes.

 

[upperdeck]

It would not surprise me if Collins plays better and we score 24-30 but the D gives up 40+

 

[SUFan44]

Yes. Picked up on that as well. Hopefully that means taking advantage of Rickie’s mobility a bit more. Giving Pitt’s propensity to blitz it could open up some potential chunk plays with his legs if he escapes the pocket.

I understand wanting to keep things relatively consistent to see if he could do the thing, but it should have been apparent from spring practice and fall camp that Collins could not process things the way the offense as it was structured needed. That's why Angeli won the job, presumably.

Sorry, but the best coaches make adjustments based on what you have to put your team in the best position to win games. And they make them right away. The fact that it took nearly a month to do that sort of thing is a bit of a red flag for me with this staff.

And that’s probably why they brought Angeli in in the first place.
And I agree completely that for all of their positives, this may be a symptom of an inexperienced coaching staff.
