Just looked through the first three quarters of the game. Out of 34 dropbacks, Devito was sacked 8 times. 12 other times he was flushed from the pocket within 4 seconds (and there was a rush). So out of 34 dropbacks he had essentially 20 times where he had to pass the ball within 4 seconds. Devito never held the ball for more than four seconds in the first three quarters. Even on completed passes.

The O-Line breakdown was total and complete. You can't really blame Devito for not making quick decisions, because the majority of his completed passes were out of his hand between 2 and 3 seconds after the ball was snapped. The times he had four seconds to throw were only when Clemson sent three players.

No offense in the history of football will function when your offensive line is getting caved in for the entire game. People who are blaming Tommy or the receivers here are missing the point that the offense never had a chance to get into a rhythm. The offensive line as currently constructed is one of the worst I've seen in more than 30 years of watching Syracuse football. And that's saying something.
