how far the offense fell

[Millhouse]

After the Maryland game, SU averaged 458 on offense for the year

Now they average 357!

i don't know how people can be so sure hunt is done

Hunt's not done. He is in the box with Lester , forming a tight relationship so the both know how each other thinks and will be on the same page when TH returns to action. Seems smart. That diamond formation looks particularly designed to Hunt's game.

Agree. Unless Alin comes in and is way better than projected, I think it will be hard to not play Hunt. Long is the only other guy - but he needs to get stronger. Perfect world, Hunt gets them back to a bowl with AJ redshirting. Then you have Long/Alin duke it out in 2016.

i think this should be the approach.

next year will be a mess anyway. maybe hunt is the best chance to get to 6 wins. who cares about upside next year, upside will get them nowhere against LSU FSU and Clemson. maybe in a couple years, that upside can actually happen and opponents fall off slightly

don't lose long's 2018 season when hunt can do it

After Hunts time in the box he better be a cool hand Luke and have us fans looking at a sweet Lucy type of offense!

Shocking isn't it.

Offensive production declines when Broyld, Estime, and half the OL can't play.

[SoBristol]

People who think Hunt is done are those who don't value a run/pass balance and think an aerial attack will lead to more wins.
Can't imagine our coaches think like that.

Use the few weapons we have next season, and build around Hunt. Real concern is RB and replacing West. I know that will not pretty enough for many here.

i'd be on board with giving up some qb runs for a more efficient passer

we don't have a more efficient passer than hunt yet

Maybe he will play a Pitt. The last 2 games to see if we have something with new OC/QB set.

I don't know how Lester got another year.

Have you heard differently regarding Hunt? I heard he's done for the year.

He shouldn't be. They would have pinned his fibula and then it's about 6 weeks to being back (in the NFL it's 4 weeks). I know because I broke my fibula once.

 

[bothsocksup]

Any long term effects from that injury?

Nope. I run, ski, play tennis, do yoga. I don't even set off the metal detectors at the airport!

Broyld might be the most overrated SU Football player since i've been following SU Football. His injury was the last of our problems. If he wants to be a difference maker on offense, he needs to bulk up, learn how to block and be a TE. His hands and speed don't stand out at WR. he can sometimes make the 1st guy miss, but doesn't have the speed to take advantage of it, as the 2nd guy tackles him immediately afterwards...if he catches it.

Wow...did not know that. Happy for the kid if he gets a chance to get back on the field as long as he doesn't get hurt again and makes it worse for 2015.

 

[CousCuse]

No, I had not heard one way or another. It would make sense to allow him to get 100% healthy.

I'd feel ok about that scenario.

HCSS has had terrible luck this year with injuries. We all know it but every one or almost everyone seems to bag on him for it. This year would be different if we had most of our starters good to go. Not super great but it would be good. Injuries are devastating to a team. Let's take 3 ol off of Florida st their 2best receiving guys and put in 3 or 4 the string qb. We probably win that game. I mean come on, we can't get rid of the coaches yet. 4 years and then decide. Not one injury plagued year. Not saying drink orange koolaid but give a little slack to the coaches.

Spoke to Hunt on Saturday. He's done for this season.
