Official USF Game Day Thread

unfortunately, this is what the building process looks like. You see flashes of good, but inconsistency is the rule. With time and reps (on offense at least) we'll see more of Q1 and less of Q2.

what about the defense?

 

[Halfmooncuse]

We have a hb making records. 23 carries in the half.

 

[Briancuse]

Didn't realize the game was over.

Well after giving up 28 straight points, fumbling away a fg attempt, and with Usf to get the ball to start the half, I am not feeling too good.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

If the offense can get out of its own way, and the defense can get in USF's way, I think we've got a shot.

 

[bcubs9497]

Has kayton been back in? Anyone know if he's okay?

 

[orangeinohio]

well, in positive news, we're basically as good a team as FSU.

 

[JLine]

You've missed the point of our system.

Not quite. I don't want to slow the pace down, but you can run the ball and keep the clock going. Back in our own territory, and we get 5 then throw twice. Two terrible plays. Next drive, run three times, and don't go for it. Why run on third down if you're not in two down territory? Just strange play calling. I don't even blame the D. They are in a position to fail. I'm all in on this staff, but 17-0 and then just craziness. Our system does allow us to mix in a run. But, not so much three in a row.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

Omg fans are leaving! Wait they are just going to get morebeer

Bailey mentioned that he was back in the game on Twitter.

 

[CuseLegacy]

And Please...No more Biden commercials.

 

[bcubs9497]

Shooting ourselves in the foot with those offensive penalties. Shows a lack of discipline.

 

[suorange08]

Let's stop with the comparisons to horrible teams in an attempt to lessen how horrible we are. It doesn't work.

Calm down. It may not work for you though I am at least trying to bring some humor into this. We are all frustrated...

Thanks!

 

[sdhall01]

I'm fine with losing, but please PLEASE don't give me hope. I'm really really sad right now.

I'm no expert but they seemed to be doing a knee stability test on the field which to me signals a concern about a torn acl. But this is just my view from tv.

 

[OrangeDW]

BC down 21-0 at half. Gotta have that one, UConn, and Wake.

I'd be happy if we find one more beyond those. Two more, and I'd be thrilled.

 

[JLine]

I did think we had a chance to beat Usf at home.

Especially when, youuuu know...up 17-0.

Lol

Walk outside and look around at the trees and listen to the birds chirping.

[longislandcuse]

a lot of you really amuse me with your expectations.. This season was never going to be a break out. Try to enjoy the ride, It'll make where Syracuse football is going to be that much more fun. We didn't have the horses before the injuries. Just be glad they're playing hard bc they are.

I think some of your expectations are too low.

My expectations aren't worst D-1 defense in CFB. Yea, injuries etc bla bla. It's insane how bad they are.

 

[Marroniac]

This is the half we turn things around for good. We turn the corner now.

 

[JLine]

We aren't even that bad. It's early in the year, yes. But, they aren't being put in the positions to succeed. 28-0 in the 2nd quarter at home to USF is unacceptable.

 

[CuseCrew08]

This is the half we turn things around for good. We turn the corner now.

I'm digging the optimism, lets go Orange!!!

 

[OrangeDW]

Especially when, youuuu know...up 17-0.

I think we all knew USF would start scoring though. They screwed up early on with some bad throws blowing big opportunities, and helped us out.

The problem is our offense started imploding. We were moving in that second quarter a couple of times before stopping ourselves. Couldn't afford putting up 0 in that quarter.
