Ohio Gameday...

[Cuse181]

Injuries: Wax & Weatherspoon are the obvious. Any others that you could spot?

I missed weatherspoon… bad?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Well no one can complain about Brown's clock management.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I missed weatherspoon… bad?

Don't think so, they said he was smiling talking on the sideline.

 

[hungrychuck]

A lot to like, a lot to worry about.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Gadsden with a quiet 7/108/1 stat line.

Anybody catch how many times he lined up with a finger down on the turf btw?

 

[Orangezoo]

So back to early on - how was that one helmet to helmet not targeting? Is there a rule change at play?

I saw at least once

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I saw at least once

Solid.

 

[CuseFan]

O looked good after first series.
D needs work on run stopping, rushing the QB (too many times when no pressure on QB at all), and coverage which will suffer if no pressure. Basically all facets on D need to improve.

Losing Wax is going to hurt.

 

[JustPherU]

Are declined penalties penalties?

If a penalty happens in the Forest and nobody sees it did it really happen?

My wife said it best, we won but it feels like we lost.

Whaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?

More than 10 less than 20

Ohio's clock management was very strange to me in the 4th quarter. It felt like they were playing as if they were down one score instead of two.

 

[Cuse181]

If they won on a last second field goal, id agree. But the game was never really in doubt after Syracuse scored to go up 1 Td. They controlled the latter half of the third and the fourth despite that last Ohio drive

I wouldn’t go that far, but defense needs some major work.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

understand the defense was horrible but the line closed at 16.5 and they won by 16. About what was expected looking at it objectively. You can be like many here and think the defense is going to suck for the rest of the year or hope for improvement.

Fran is the new sports car who was just driven off the lot 3.5 hours ago. it’s real now.

 

[GoSU96]

Defense lost leverage, they need to figure that out.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Meh. VT lost to Vandy in OT and Clemson embarrassed themselves. We won. It's a good day.

Should have been over 150 if that one play wasn't called back

If that play wasn't called back McCord would have been over 400

ACC is there for the taking.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Diggs is really not an every down end.

He takes himself out of too many plays.

 

[CuseLegacy]

ACC is there for the taking.

Once we get the defense straightened out.

 

[IthacaMatt]

ACC is there for the taking.

We didn't look like a contender today.
Defense was poor, and Wax looks like he has an ankle sprain. I would not expect him to play against Georgia Tech. Our tackling technique was very poor.
