Curtis moves pretty fast for a guy who has concrete hands. They must be really heavy

 

[UelSU]

More Erv please.

 

[saltine44]

stone hands strikes again

That would have been a tough catch. 2 defenders got their hands in there

 

[orangenirvana]

Custis needs to catch that.

Reach out and catch the ball with your hands.

 

[RF2044]

Custis needs to catch that.

I think it is just starting to be apparent that Custis isn't good enough to be a starter.

 

[OrangeDW]

Custis is like that hoop player who looks great in layup lines but gets eaten alive come game time.

He had inside position and longer arms than the defenders. He's a D1 athlete, he needs to make that catch.

The offensive play calling is grobbish. Not even a joke. We havent thrown a ball 15 yards yet, no middle. ED has taken 15 hits. How are we doing? Yet, when we win by 7 DINO will be hailed. Shafer in everyone's head.

I'd hand Dino a 10 year contract extension right now if he promises to replace his Running Game Coordinator and get that figured out.

Hate to state the obvious: We really miss Etta Tawo.

In reality he wasn't/isn't that good either. Need more talent badly but help is on the way in the near future. Want to see Pierre and Johnson today!

you cant take 5 and 7 step drops when they are blitzing more players than we have blocking... we are starting to move the ball and Dino and co. has adjusted somewhat...

 

[orangenirvana]

Custis playing linebacker now?

 

[SteveC]

No lie, the Defense looks nice. I like the pressure.

Bull. If Shafer was our HC in a game like this the story would be about how great our defense is playing.

 

[SteveC]

Special teams not so much.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Unbelievable, only Syracuse

No it isn't.

They are trying to establish the run to freeze the blitzing. Basic stuff.

Problem is, our OL doesn't open holes. So the results are disappointing, but the approach is sound.

 

[Killdozer]

Defense playing really well

 

[dasher]

Well, in fairness, Scott came form the defensive side of the ball and Dino came from the offensive side of the ball. So...

notice WE keep blitzing all game on D... why? because MTST throws alot of 5 and 7 step drop passes...look at the patterns on replays.. all the WR's are running 15+ yard patterns.. the only short plays are there screens
