Can We

[UpstateSM]

Have a phantom COVID outbreak this week so we can cancel next weeks game? Losing to Liberty at home would be the low-point of my Syracuse fandom and we’re going to be underdogs going in.

Would rather not take the risk

 

[BomberOrange]

We won’t be underdogs. Won’t be favored by much, but we won’t be ‘dogs.

 

[Entropic]

If we are underdogs at home to a team that joined FBS football last year then I would also consider that to be a low-point. I still consider the win to Villanova at home (technically should have been a loss) to be a low point.

We won’t be underdogs. Won’t be favored by much, but we won’t be ‘dogs.

If I could gamble on what the spread would be I would bet on us being dogs. They ranked better in advanced numbers going into this week and we might be down our starting QB

We deserve to be underdogs after today.

Win next week with a true FR and not lose by 50 to Clemson and there will still be enough to play for.

I don't think you understand his point. I've been a fan since Jim Nance and I agree. If we lose next week it will be an all time low. And that includes GRob.

Losing by Clemson by 50 wouldn't be that bad. I fear it could be worse than that.

 

[Bulldog04]

Losing to liberty isn’t out of the question. That’s the scary part. Thennnnnn what

 

[orangeinjersey]

Losing next week is worse than losing by 20 to Toledo or Akron during Grob era?

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Losing by Clemson by 50 wouldn't be that bad. I fear it could be worse than that.

Sunshines backup might torch us worse than Sunshine. Chances are 2 weeks from now we know how to spell that kids name.

Can we invoke a “mercy” rule at the half against Clemson?

Wow those are some names...

I’m 23 so that era is a little before my time. Losing next week would be my low point for a million different reasons

 

[23Zone]

Can we be any worse?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Get ready...

Can we stop with the fallacy that this defense is at all adequate? Just as bad, if not worse, than last season

I think its hard to judge because the defense has been on the field for about 90-100 plays a game because the offense is so bad.

I understand his point quite well thank you. I’ve been a fan since Bill Hurley so iive been around. We’ll be favored...not by much but will be favored. Liberty has won this year but over NOBODY. I say we open -4. Will win by 14.
the rest of the year we will be dogs and may not win another game

D was on the field for 40 min today forced 4 TO's and scored, they aren't the issue thats for sure, at the end of the day they aren't giving up tons of points which is the name of the game, by definition I would call them adequate

 

[CanadianSU]

As a diehard I’ve never felt this empty about the team in like forever. I’ll watch but I am just numb to the suck. If this happens again next year I’ll want a new coach.

665 yards allowed , I believe.

Duke scored with ease on the first possession. The offense is a mess as well, but that’s another issue

4 turnovers forced, back to back games defense scored a touchdown, on the field for 40 minutes, if the offense idk doesn't go 3 and out just about every possession then the D isn't on the field as long, the defense is like the old bob diaco bend don't brake notre dame defenses, they do their job get turnovers and don't give up a lot of points, whine about yards all you want they are put it bad spots all game long, at the end of the day when their on the field for 40 min get 4 TO's and only give up 38 I'll take it

Akron 2008 was the definite low point for me.

I don’t believe GRob ever played Toledo.

or do as they do here in Florida high school football,, play with a running clock when the lead gets to 42
