Yes, orange pants would look better.  The uniforms look like nothing special on TV, because it's not the Syracuse "Blue" / "Gray" (or whatever pewter/platinum/silver they call it) / "White", it's the ORANGE.

As far as the game goes ...

The edge DE is really quick, but whomever it is has to stop blowing past the QB and giving him a running lane, or a way to buy extra time to look downfield.

The defense didn't do that bad, save for the 3rd down conversion percentage, but that punt return TD sure looks big when the offense cannot accomplish anything.

I'm not certain I'm for pushing the tempo, because I don't know if SU has the players who can pull it off.  Should they fail at it, and time of possession stats that look like
14:40-4:03 or 37:48-22:12 become common, I don't think they'll be looking at 7 or 8 wins.  They are not a team that can afford to blow through a 3-and-out in 1:12.  Not with the offense not working, not with an unsettled DL situation.

Offensively, I just thought they were boring.  Pace is good; if you do something.  When Hunt was in, they didn't do much.  Short passes, swings, no QB draws.  35 pass attempts for 185 yards.  When Wilson came in, it didn't even look like they changed the gameplan to account for a less mobile QB, a QB less ready, and a QB who can throw better.  Slow the game down, as neither guy is truly experienced, make sure everyone is ready for the play, and make it effective.  The pace worked great with Nassib as a senior, not a redshirt freshman or junior.  The OL being a mess didn't help, especially on those plays with Moore in the redzone.  Thanks for the blocking guys, you want a red cape to wave at the DL as they run past you next time?
