My Take

I'm not saying we can get by on passing the ball only.

I can. And I will.

Yup. That just happened.

I wouldn't call it "ground and pound". It would introduce versatility and deception into the running game and give us more balance.

Syracuse uses deception via the RPO.

Nope. Unless you like 4-8 seasons.

There's a lot student cars there even on the weekends.

Yup...when I arrived at 3pm it was 60-65% full. Probably 90% of the cars were students or as Bee's said, "staff". The Fine Lot and Stadium West in general has become a tailgating wasteland. Our tailgate is obviously the largest tailgate but I doubt there was more than 7-10 other small tailgates now among Stadium West Lots. Really sad... SU's pricing model has killed tailgating in Stadium West.

Too much hand wringing after a 50-7 game. It's early. We'll run better.

To me the O-Oline is set for pass first so its looking like they don't have the drive blocking set to go. Your first two steps are the most important when run blocking.

If it's RPO - they pass block.

we also seemed very vanilla on offense as to not show anything new before next week

and slow. What if we'd run the 2-4 Q at 1Q tempo?

we probably break 70 even with 2nd and 3rd stringers in

RPO's are the reason.
