Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 4020456, member: 210"] Other than special teams this is the most fundamentally sound Syracuse team in years. Players tackle better than I’ve seen since the Dwight Freeney days, very few holding calls, and besides today we are limiting the false start penalties. Very few busted coverages or completely busted plays on offense. Honestly even the last 8 seconds of the half weren’t *that* bad. Initially he made the decision to go for it which is great, but then he got spooked into the fg… a little soft? Sure, but it’s something that you see a dozen times a weekend. Again, Szmyt needs to make that kick… he’s on a freaking scholarship. In the mean time Babers made some really good calls in the 4th quarter. For better or for worse he’s learning on the job… not great for $4mm+ a year but that ship has sailed. I suspect he gets an extension after this year, hopefully without increasing the buyout. [/QUOTE]
