Message: [QUOTE="P Vasiloff, post: 3526235, member: 6210"] It was actually fun (at least for me) to watch Syracuse University Football yesterday. Sean Tucker does not play like a freshman. He gets to north and south pretty quickly and almost always falls forward after first contact. Also very happy with his ball security (had my fingers on my left hand crossed and both feet as I typed this). I think Syracuse may have found their running back for 2020 and beyond and I can't wait for Josh Hough next year. Offensive line was better but still needs to vastly improve. Hopefully some of the missing pieces return soon. Much better game for Tommy DeVito. It's amazing what a little protection and much better play calling will do. Still need to incorporate the tight ends in this offense and that will lead to more production. Finally nice to see the middle of the field used. DeVito throws darts over the middle so there's your hint Mr. Gilbert. Wideouts were good but still need to catch the catchable balls. Offense is still very much a work in progress but performances like yesterday get the unit going in the right direction. On Defense I was a little concerned about how effortless Georgia Tech could run successfully against Syracuse. Although I will say this. When Ward was the DC, the opposing back many times had a huge hole to run through. This wasn't the case yesterday. Most of the success that GT had was based on very poor angles by the Syracuse tacklers and many many missed tackles. The poor angles and the poor tackling have to get cleaned up or future opponents will take advantage. The secondary is as advertised despite missing Andre Cisco. Hannah, Carter, Williams, Iffy, and of course Trill look like a formidable group. Nunn and Jonas had some good plays too. I'll also bet that Coach White will remind the defense that they had GT in a 1st and 35 and they ended up getting a first down. That can't happen either. Special Teams has some things to clean up too. I'm sure Coach Lustig will get it done. It's only one game but lets hope that during the bye week, the positives from yesterday get enhanced and the negatives are addressed and eliminated. Here's to beating the snot out of Duke in two weeks. Go Orange!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
