Maryland was clearly the better team on the field today. Had we played a perfect game, we would have had a chance to be in it late (not leaving the wing back/ slot receiver wide open on the 90 yard bubble screen, not getting the punt blocked, Reddish making that pick, THunt not throwing that INT), but maryland was bigger, faster, stronger and had a better game plan.
 
The problem with where were at is hope. We hope we will be better and want it so bad, and its just so disappointing to have games like this. It's a head scratcher - but its problem a combination of everything right now. We like our players but they dont have that speed, strength and instinct that the top end programs have. We like shafer's enthusiasm and personality, but the position coaches and coordinators seem to leave something to be desired.
 
It's not an easy stretch right now to be a Cuse fan. The big programs are proud of their undying support even in the low times. The smaller programs have a lot of fairweather fans, because well, their tend to be more lean times. It'd sure be easier to be born in Ohio, or Tallahasee or Oklahoma. But this is the group of players and coaches that represents SU and central NY. 
 
 I think a 7-8 win season is again the goal - and its not gonna be easy.  Games and ND, Louisville, FSU and Clemson loom. Boston College, Pitt and NC State are even looking very challenging.
