In my view this season turned on two games - Maryland and NC State.  I have no issues with the losses to FSU, Clemson or Louisville. I think those teams were just better and SU played competitively in all of them.

Maryland and NC State are not very good and both were home games.  Against Maryland they amassed 600 yards of offense and Hunt rushed for 170 yards. How do you end up on the wrong end of a 14 point loss? Well, throw a red zone pick six for starters.

Vs. NC State they were up 14- 9 late in the 3rd quarter and were driving for another score that I believe would've just about sealed the deal. Yet another red zone pick six turned the tide against them.

When you are team struggling for relevance,  you cannot throw away winnable games. If they had gone into yesterday's game with 5 wins and 3 to play for bowl eligibility I believe the perception of this team would be very different.

There is some talent on this team, not enough to compete with the big boys but enough to have cobbled out 6 wins with this schedule.   This team by and large played tough against better competition and then would self destruct against teams they could beat.

Frustrating season.
