Seriously. Less Nixon, and more Willis. Especially less Nixon up the middle.
A late era Pasqualoni season!
So to me Diaz was going for it no matter what because he had zero concerns about the SU offense. I mean zero. I would add that Duke was way more physical than our team was yesterday as well. They were aggressive all game. It was kind of like the Mike Tyson quote "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face ". Syracuse had a plan, Duke punched Syracuse in the face and Syracuse got handled.
On one throw
Don't disagree but Willis got a shoulder stinger or slight dislocation yesterday. It happened on a run play towards the Duke sidelines. My son saw him come off the field and you could see a trainer looking to try and either pop the shoulder back in or something.
It's not like it was a secret if you've watched any film on our defense this year...
I’m just saying, it’s the obvious yet this coaching staff can’t do anything about it for 17 games
Oh I know
Pathetic that they didn’t even seem to try in front of a sold out crowd. They should be embarrassed.
You can blame many things on Ricky but to say the (non) targeting hit on Cook was Ricky’s fault is asinine.
Yep I think number five sensed just that, got pissed off and was starting to step up and take more of leadership role in the vacuum. I think that continues and should be encouraged, Kid is a player
Thanks for your insight. Fran is awesome and I hope he wants to be SU’s football coach for a long time. He makes me a proud alum and for more than his record. Saturday’s game was bad. Real bad.
You couldn’t have described this better. And by the way it’s a great thing we have had an excellent passing game and hopefully this was just a one week anomaly with a new QB. For the most part, we have a system of championship level brand of offensive football when it works. Very few defensives, if any, can completely shut it down when it’s operating the way it should. Up until this point, for the most part it has kept us competitive in every game, not necessarily blowing the doors off of many opponents. Coach Brown had alluded to this as not being mature enough to do so. The maturity is with our defense and running game. Defense probably mostly. If we mature defensively and with the running game, not only will it keep us in virtually every game if the passing game struggles. When we get to the level we all want to be at, the Syracuse offensive system can be what puts us over the top. I think we see an immediate shift from bend don’t break defense to opportunistic. It may not look pretty at times, but other parts of the game have to be more apart of the identity of the team than just the passing game.
I was talking about the numerous other throws that cook had to turn around for to get then got blown up.
