Miami Game Thread...

[N.Y. Orangeman]

SO, so proud...

 

[Briancuse]

Frustrating loss, but great effort, to turn it over 4 times and only lost by a possesion not the end of the world.

There is no team left on the schedule that I am afraid of. Let's rest up and go ***cking crush Fla St.

Too much “hero”ball on that last series by Dungey...

He played well, but tried to do it all himself down the stretch.

Receivers were not helping him though. They looked gassed - not running hard beyond their routes...

Too bad. Could have won this one...

Garbage

I have pretty much felt that we were close or better than most of the teams we have played so far. Miami is no exception. You can’t throw 4 interceptions we probably would have one. Dungey tried making up for it. We need to bounce back and push forward

Miami is not that good. Syracuse lost this.

Undefeated ranked #8, 17 point favorites. Athletes all over the field and huge men on the Dline. I think they’re very good.

Miami is not that good. Syracuse lost this.

4 interceptions...gave away 4 possessions

That was the game, just like others when we spot teams 2 touchdowns in the first half and lose by 8.

Great game though, will need to split the next 4 to get to a bowl.

Perfectly capable of doing that for sure.

Top 10 team. No good... Clemson probably isn't good either.

Happy the way they fought back and were in it at the end. We played them tough on a field that is in worse shape than my back yard. The players stayed in it but just couldn't overcome our early mistakes. It was a good game but unfortunately ended frustratingly. Still totally on board the Dino and Dungey express. Dungey has heart and played tough despite the fact our offensive line did him absolutely no favors between the pass blocking and snaps.

Long story short, GO CUSE!

Our off week is coming at a great time. Time to get rested and re-energized. Four more tough games. Got to get at least two of them.

 

[Orangezoo]

One thing is for sure.. there is not a better 4-4 team in the country than us.
We should have ran the ball a lot more on the edges and blitzed a lot less. Thank God the guys get a week to rest now.

 

[two3zone]

The days of Moral Victories are over, Cuse had this game and didn't execute to win it. Bottom line

We still played an undefeated, more talented, top 10 team on the road. No shame in losing the game.

 

[Finwad32]

Had multiple chances to take the lead in the 4th... against a team with superior talent... the compass is due north.

 

[The Ack]

Great game. Tough loss. Never doubted our chances. That speaks for itself. Dungey...; @#$in guts on that guy!

 

[Eric15]

Ugh, can we just play that MFing Middle Tennessee game again? Sitting at 5-3 right now would be amazing. Still in great position for a bowl game.

 

[Madbiker]

Played a competitive game against a ranked team on the road. Babers is making progress narrowing the talent gap with the better ACC programs. Need to upgrade offensive and defensive lines where we still have decided talent deficit. Skill players on offense are almost there. First time I have felt encouraged in years.

 

[Shenexon]

PROUD of this team... we've got a squad.

Feel the same...came very close to pulling this game out. We hurt ourselves early but were competitive, just a play or two away from a win on the road against a top ten team. Miami came ready to play and took us out of our game in the first quarter and pressured Dungey all day. The defense played so well all game and kept us close. We played hard till the end...

With that crappy field, the U has a solid home field advantage too. Similar to Heinz field over the years.

Manny Diaz just told Dungey he will take care of the Bs that came from the Miami sidelines.

What happened? I saw Dungey had crazy eyes at the end.

One of the assistant coaches was jawing at Dungey and we all know how Dungey is not one to back down.

 

[Orangejet]

Just leaving Hard Rock Stadium and this was a great game to watch in person. Very proud of the CUSE effort and our main goal is a bowl game...which is very achievable.

 

[cuse10]

Incredibly deflating loss. They had multiple opportunities to put touchdowns on the board. Going up 23-19 would have been huge. The defense kept them in the game as long as they could. Dungey's first half and uncharacteristic passing performance put SU behind the 8 ball.

 

[orangeinohio]

Just glad Dungey gets a week off to recover physically (and maybe mentally).

 

[PhatOrange]

Yeah I’m sure he will

 

[FortyFourCT]

This is the least upset I've been after a loss in a looong time. I dont know what that means but whatever
