Message: [QUOTE="Faegan, post: 55455, member: 360"] Last week against Rutgers, didn't Lville spread it out a little and have success with it? How does that impact our game plan? From [URL='http://blog.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2011/10/orange_insider_-_syracuse_at_l.html']Orange Insider[/URL] today: [B][COLOR=#fd6205]Stop the run[/COLOR][/B] The Cards were struggling mightily to run the ball behind their rebuilt offensive line until a week ago when Watson spread the fields vs. Rutgers and then gashed the Knights' solid run defense inside. The result was a season-high 187 yards on the ground, which allowed the team to settle into a ball-control battle of defenses and eventually prevail. Syracuse's defense must not allow that to happen. It must shut down the run at all costs and force freshman quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to try to win the game with his arm. SU's athletic but undersized front seven must meet this physical challenge for the team to have a shot. [/QUOTE]
