Miami Postgame Thoughts

[Ttk.gman2]

Collins struggled, but the OL did him no favors.

Need upgrades on the OL next year

 

[CuseBlood44]

Anyone know why there was no postgame press conferences posted for the game today? Did they happen?

 

[anomander]

We have always been a basketball school. And college football is my favorite sport.

cbb barely registers as a major sport any more. It’s almost like saying we’re a lacrosse school.

Collins struggled, but the OL did him no favors.

In several instances Collin’s dropped back to pass and the pocket went with him. I counted two seconds and there was already no space to step into a throw. Not that it would have been an accurate throw…

 

[elimunelson]

Are we a basketball school again???

Based on the rankings def not an academic school. So sure.

 

[charleston]

What happened to Ross-Simmons? He was our most sure-handed receiver?

Brown is 13-12 after 2 seasons, I am figuring he gets outcoached by O'Brien and we lose to BC in a close one to finish in last place in the ACC. I guess 10-3, 3-9 is better than the 6.5 wins, 6 losses average. I am not advocating for anything but Babers got fired for not winning 7 games. It took Babers 2 1/2 years to win 13, it's taken Brown 2 years. Both are mediocrity at its finest.

If Angeli was healthy I’d bet Cuse would be around 7 wins this season. These opponents have all been beatable.

The offensive line is missing 3 of their top 6 guys. Ferguson and Collins are SU most experienced and highly graded lineman. Miller was the backup center. Are people really surprised they struggled against that Miami defensive line, with two all league pash rushers?

I agree that CBB has lost some of its luster and prestige over the past 20-30 years, but come on now, it's still an order of magnitude more popular than lacrosse in every way.

ND is a useless game as well. First start at home would make sense. Fidali got his first start at home against a terrible team I say give Carney the same treatment.

BC IMO is the bigger useless game. With ND you have a chance to look functional on national TV, yes BC is more winnable but what difference is 4 vs 3 Ws?

If Carney wins as QB1 for ND and plays decent, there is always a chance he decides to play vs BC. Especially since he can RS next year under Angeli. If he is leaving the don’t play him at all.

Same with Filardi. If he plays decent vs ND why go to Carney for BC?

Outside of 2020, this is the first time since 2015 that we are eliminated from a Bowl going into game 11.

 

[Blanko97]

it was to embarrass Syracuse and Brown and it did. Brown shouldn't complain about it, if he didn't like it his defense should have stopped it. Reminds me of Shafer yelling across the field at Swinney when Clemson was calling timeouts and trying to score again before halftime when the Tigers were already up big.

I don’t think it was to embarrass him. I assume the linemen is a team guy and they wanted to give him a chance to make a play in a meaningless game

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I’m a football guy too… I was born in 88 so I saw mcnabbs era quite well and I think freeney was the best player we’ve ever had but at a position that’s less obvious… but I am still optimistic about Fran

 

[Eric15]

Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, John Mackey, and Larry Csonka beg to differ.

If we were having this conversation 60 years ago when those legends played, I would agree with you that we are a football school.

 

[swish7]

We must have set some kind of record this year for false starts on 1st & goals.

 

[SURules]

With Angeli, we win yesterday and are ranked as a team.

 

[SU2NASA]

The school’s freakin’ fight song is about football.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

With Angeli, we win yesterday and are ranked as a team.

Can’t assume teams play us the same way and effort. I think we win one of the road games and two of the home games. So 6-4 right now heading to 7-5 (5-3). That is a good season given the schedule.

 

[Eric15]

The school’s freakin’ fight song is about football.

I guess Duke is a football school also.

The Fight Song, "Fight Blue Devils"

Fight, Fight Blue Devils
Fight for Duke and the Blue and White
March on through
For the touchdown's there for you
Go get 'em
Duke is out to win today
Carolina goodnight
So turn on the steam team
Fight Blue Devils Fight

 

[OrangeXtreme]

The school’s freakin’ fight song is about football.

Marching bands didn't perform at basketball games 100 years ago.

 

[CuseLegacy]

We have always been a basketball school. And college football is my favorite sport.

Always? Maybe in your life time but not in mine or the generations of SU grads in my family before me.
And that goes back to the 1800s.

Yup and even more talent on the OL
