Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 3960962, member: 229"] Just re-watched Shrader's 3rd drive. Drive starts at the SU 41 yard line after a 4th down stuff by the D. First time with good field position. (2 minute drill) was actually a pretty good drive. He moved the ball down the field with some good play and got us into short field goal range that we missed. Made some really good throws and you can visibly see him scanning the field a couple of times. Sharod makes a beautiful sideline catch on this drive (on a hell of a throw). First play he throws a money ball to Taj that is a sure TD but the safety gets over at the last second and knocks it away. That was as pretty as a throw as the one Taj dropped on TD. Next throw is the perfect sideline pass and layout by Sharod. Toes down. 1st-10 at the RU 48. Next play is a check down throw to Tucker for another gain of 10 and a 1st down. (check down) At this point Shrader is starting to feel it a little and get into a rythym. You can see his body language. The 4th play he misses Courtney by a foot down the middle. This hurt as it's a sure TD. He needs to hit this pass 9/10 times. 2nd10 with a minute left. 5th play is the scramble and comebacker to Taj. 1st down ball on the 20yd line with 51 seconds. Run Tucker up the gut no gain. why? I hate throw away plays. (side note RU LB throws Tucker well after the whistle. No diff than Mikel) 2nd10 syracuse TO, 35 seconds left Coming out of the TO is the missed facemask scramble fumble. 3rd and 15 now, 10 second run off and 20 seconds left. Pass to Queeley way over thrown. Shrader faced a bit of pressure but chucks it up off back foot while starting to leave the pocket. Queeley open but it would have had to have been a laser. Missed FG. (43 yarder kicking from the 25 yard line) All in all this was a good drive (one of the best of the game) and Shrader played better, moved the team. Based on his last drive performance and what we saw from the Offense in the 2nd half, it's sort of inexcusable that he didn't play again in the game. On re-watch I may have given him the first series of the 2nd half. He definitely seemed to have some momentum going. [/QUOTE]
