That we've got a QB throwing for 400 yards and I don't even think he's playing very well.
It's kinda cool

This offense works and it will only get better.

I agree with you, I thought ED was off sync, but hey he was off sync enough to help get the win !!!!!

Just wait until the offense clicks with the players. We will complain about ONLY 400 yards passing.

That is a lot of yards to give up, but considering the wholesale defense scheme change, excessive injuries, and the three consecutive D stops to end the game, I'll take these kids in week 4 of a system overhaul.

Am I correct that we won? We gave up 425 and gained 469. That's a win, especially with the final score in our favor. Spin it however you like, but we won, and in many categories. We won...

With all the injuries, will it get better this season?
It seems like the injuries are devastating consistency and effectiveness. Yeah, I know every team has hard injuries so I'm not saying that SU's situation is dramatically worse than other teams.
I hope it gets better and the false starts disappear but it seems like difficult circumstances for the team to improve.

Dungey hasn't played a good game in its entirety all season.
Here and there he'll look like a Heisman candidate, and then he'll lay a dud for two or three straight possessions. It's sort of strange.
At some point in the 2nd half today I was hoping to see Mahoney. But then Dungey began to put his body into his throws with good results so I was glad to see him pick it up at the end.
It's all about consistency with Dungey. Maybe some of it is still understanding the offense.

I like you guys, but Dungey threw for over 400 yds... with no int's...it sounds like he missed throws as well...ummm...you find fault that would remove hin? Why and where? I know I didn't get to watch, but the stats make him look pretty good...

Missed a big throw to Erv deep that should have been a TD. Ish stumbled on another deep ball that should of been a TD. We are getting better. Any victory against UConn in any sport is a great day.

I'm speaking only for myself here - Dungey's passing yardage this season blows away last year's performance. And his accuracy is pretty damn good too.
It seems to me, though, that he's got something is off right now. Like he's dealing with a lingering injury or he's fatigued in the later stages of the game.
I expect him to miss passes; even throw interceptions
Lately he has missed passes that seem like routine passes for him, though.

He completed 65% of his passes. The big offensive issue today was the bad run blocking, again. If we had a run game we would have scored a couple of additional touchdowns.
I wouldn't put it all on Dungey but it felt like the O as a whole left a lot on the field. I think at times Dungey got way too predictable with Etta-tawa... Having said that if Dungey was more accurate he would have converted those as the plays were there for the taking. I'm more worried about the run game or lack there of. We need to be able to run the bell to get in front of the chains.

Women's hoops, sure. Otherwise, in any other sport it should be considered routine.

Penalties are killing us on offense too IMO.

We aren't going to score every possession I don't know what you guys expect. 400+ yards 65% completion percentage with no turnovers and people saying he had a bad game? You guys need to lower your expectations especially in year 1. Especially with ZERO running game

Kinda cool that we can get a game day thread locked after a win.
No fan base can touch us!

His stats were great. But - he did miss on some opportunities, and some of those misses were on him.
As well as he played, there was plenty of room for him to do much better.
And I'm sure he'd say the exact same thing if he was asked about it. Definitely left some plays out there.
Just think about that - 65%, 400+ yards, and could have done better.

Everyone misses opportunities not just Dungey. Every week teams leave plays out there. These are kids not professionals. 400 yards with over 60% completion 3 TDs and no turnovers is a great day. He will never have a game where he makes every throw. Even professionals miss throws.
Points will come in this offense once the running game gets going.
