I’m hoping we steam roll Pitt. It’s about time we put 4 full quarters of football together.
I'm hoping our boys come out of the bye HUNGRY. It would be nice to not have a let down. I want our boys to come out and just execute. Don't get too high or too low. Just execute and walk out with a methodical win.
Yeah, people say we’re explosive, but we’re not explosive. We’re a ball control offense. Thank god McCord is as accurate and pretty efficient as he is. If we didn’t possess the ball as much as we do, we’d be in trouble defensively. I like eating the clock as long as we score TDs. That was the issue in the NC St game, we didn’t score. But, yes, I agree, it’d be nice if we could score a couple of quick-hitters now and then. It would change the complexion of games completely and put much more pressure on opposing offenses because we eat clock so much. If we could go up a couple of scores more easily, it would make other teams take more risks. I think this is where we are really missing Zeed Hynes. We could really use a downfield threat.
I think you are mostly correct. But, I think opponents are taking away the the explosive plays and McCord is taking what the D is giving. He is looking for the explosive plays, but they aren't there. So, we move the ball with the under routes. I really hope Zeed is doing well and we get him up at some point, he will make a huge difference. But, in the meantime, Meeks, Hatcher, OG3 and JRS should be able to do some damage.
I feel bad for WVU. They are stuck in the B12. Their program is in a death spiral and it is hard to imagine them getting better anytime soon. Unless you are a crazy guy on ESPN Game Day.

The poll only matters at the end. We need to win out to get in the tournament . So it’s irrelevant to me where we are now.
We don't have explosive plays, but we also don't make any. When was the last SU player other Shrader to make 2-3 people miss and make a 50yd play out of a 5?

I doubt it has anything to do with historic performance in November and everything to do with Stanford being a really tough loss and a lot of blown leads at the end of games. For the media that votes on box scores and doesn't watch the games, Syracuse doesn't appear to have outplayed anyone other than Holy Cross.
It’s not entirely irrelevant… hard to climb when you’re trying to push out the guys who are already there
neither has Miami in many games
True, but that is where being an undefeated pre-season ranked team helps out tremendously.
So UNLV lost to a pretty good team (us) and we lost to an objectively poor team (Stanford).
you wonder if flying To SU and Clemson and home and back to ND and back home has added up?
Would be nice. We always hope we steam roll opponents. Seems extremely unlikely though.
Personally, I think the flying thing isn't a big deal. These teams are all on charters. They take off and at worst 4 hours later they land. D 2 and 3 schools have been taking bus rides for 50 plus years that are longer. I mean does it really make a difference if you fly 2 hours or 4?
