Who was it? Matt Park and Adam Terry said it was him, but they said it was a questionable call. They felt the referees were treating Brown like a QB and not a defender. Matt and Adam said it wasn’t that bad but whomever did it had no reason. Clark had no one that could catch him.
I vaguely remember there was a quote from Art Monk, maybe around the time he was elected into the HOF where he said behavior such as this was what separated him and other SU grads from the rest of the NFL players around him and that helped lead to his HOF career. Look at Coughlin's "on time is already late" policies as further example that this is who we were and what helped make us successful.
Agree, my friend said hope we don’t lose recruits over this and I said, I disagree completely it should be the opposite!
I remember Doug Marrone had a rule that all waste paper baskets had to be empty in all football offices and facilities when there were visitors, i.e. recruits and their parents or other VIPs.
Wow, that bolded and underlined part says a lot about the way Babers ran things.
It was supposedly Simmons.
It was Simmons. Marlowe was the one who got in the ref’s face and had to be warned to back off.
It was a horrible call by the ref but also equally horrible because Simmons didn't need to do it.
8 years of no discipline under the past coach, being among the leaders every year in penalties. That needs to be corrected.
that makes sense why Matt and Adam thought it was Marlowe. FWIW, I don't know much about playing the secondary but I have a good friend who was a DB at Cornell and is a Cuse fan and he says Simmons stinks.
I got the answer, it was Simmons. Marlowe was arguing the call with the ref, that's probably why Matt and Adam thought it was Marlowe. I listen to the radio call and queue it up with the DVR, I don’t like the ESPN or ACC Network announcers unless it is McDonough or Bilas calling one of our games in FB or BB. I did listen to Bill Walton doing our Hawaii games. That was a hoot.
The thing about that is we were heavily penalized under Doug too. I could never understand it, Doug was a discplinarian but it did not help with the penalties, we were bad too with Doug.
Yes, I thought the play calling was unimaginative and to predictable.
It was Simmons, and he didn't need to do it. I was never a fan, would have much rather seen some other player get the reps. That is the type of stuff I don't think Fran is going to put up with.
Look harder.

I know that was odd, the discipline he instilled was really how hard they played in games and practice and their workout routines, definitely didn’t extend to penalties. Though even Doug’s teams probably didn’t have anyone as stupid as Simmons
I am glad Simmons eligibility is up, we don’t need the kind of boneheaded crap like his roughing penalty that took a defensive TD off the board
It should be. Few guys that you can count on one maybe two hands including obviously some injured players.
I thought the wildcat was only effective against the 1st team we used it against, but maybe my memory is faulty. It seems our other QB was halfway decent & if given the reigns early & developed fully, maybe the outcome improves. Who knows?
