Im not going to really question the coaching decisions as I am not really a armchair quarterback type of person but I dont know how you cant be incredibly impressed with the heart this team has. Do not forget for a second that these players are kids, they are 18-22 years old and what they showed me today was damn impressive. There is no doubt in my mind that if Dungey doesn't get that cheap shot that SU steamrolls CMU and everyone on this board is saying " Bring on LSU".

But Dungey going down means that CMU no longer has to respect SU's air attack, they stack 8 in the box and Syracuse cant get a first down. But this defense that was getting shredded in the 3rd quarter, some how manages to get a turnover, then another turnover. The Defense that is deflated going into OT stops CMU and holds them to a field goal, That offense that didnt get a 1st down in the second half somehow manages to score the Winning TD in OT. Thats Heart, you cant teach that, you either have it or you don't. I guarantee you these kids learned more about themselves today than they would have if Dungey didn't get hurt,  lessons like these are what turns a kid into a man.

They didn't give up, they didn't stop grinding, and they picked up one of the hardest victories of their life. A lot of teams would have lost if they faced the adversity Syracuse did today and I am damn proud they are "MY" team right.
