Don't get me wrong - the team played well. The defense dominated, and the offense and WRs showed something, but there isn't much difference between this game and the curb-stomping of Wagner last year.
Yes, this was game one, and that was game five, and yes, the defense had more turnovers but gave up a few more yards. Overall, though, this was a typical beatdown against a cupcake. I know quite a few of us are excited about scoring 65 points, etc., but this game just really doesn't tell us much of anything.
Yes - the depth looks better. Other than that, I'm not sure you can suss out anything more. I'm not sure Western Michigan will help with that either (except to our detriment if the team underperforms). I'd rather have a win than a loss. I'm glad the team doesn't seem to have any major injuries, and I'm happy to watch 'Cuse football again. Other than that, I don't think we'll know much until they play Purdue.
And I know some of you will say, "No one's saying this means anything!" but the board is littered today with posts trying to extrapolate meaning to this game. I just don't think there is much. Maybe I'm a nihilist, though.
