As I exited the Dome, I felt as though this game was a critical loss that would probably cost us a Bowl game, but after much reflection, I feel like the fate of this team rests upon the players' desire to win. This team has definitely improved upon its strength, speed, skill, & brutality(some of those hits were bone rattling!).
 
In addition, the Big East is really not a very intimidating conference anymore. Syracuse has the chance to beat each & every conference foe, & probably will win a majority of those games.
 
Next week is a great challenge & a terrific measuring stick to gauge this squad's strength & skill. To expect a win against USC is unrealistic. To hope for a win is required. I hope for an entertaining & highly competitive affair.
 
We forget, this team was 5-2 going into the home stretch, & proceeded to lose their last 5 games. The chances of a repeat performance like this is prohibitive. I remember a few years where some of the better Syracuse teams came into week 3 winless, so this strange game is no true indicator of the record we can expect from the ORANGE.
