We lost a back up RB and a Lineman I think?
If your thought was correct all teams would have had stinkers of a season.
This is mentally that kept Babers here a few years to long.
One of the worst

We really aren't super young. Even if we were, there is no guarantee the best young players will return.
Me and my son kept saying this last night. Carney comes in and they hand the ball off. Get stopped and then he is pulled.
The series he’s played this year they basically hand the ball off exclusively and don’t give him a chance to throw. Then they pull him as if he was the problem. Even if he can’t throw or doesn’t have a strong enough arm, it can’t be worse than Filardi and not much worse than Collin’s. At least try.

You keep saying decimated but we lost 2-4 players
You still have to factor in our 3-1 start, if you don't then yes the "2nd season of 2025" is worse then 2020
Because if Carney got lucky and started to run the total offense Fran would look bad.
His ego makes him a great recruiter, but can get in the way of being a head coach.
We are never going to find out if Luke might be better then Rickie. Fran isn't going to allow that.
You think Fran is trying to lose the games?

So foolish and destructive to cut off one's nose to spite their face.

I think there was one play where Carney looked like he was dropping back to pass. Of course, the sieve of an offensive line allowed him to be sacked almost immediately.

How does it parse out by snaps? 9 games into the season, are sophs and RS sophs young? OL/DL/WR/ Nixon, Villari .
My second point shouldn't be overlooked. We've lost good young guys the last couple seasons.

There might be a reason for that

I didn't overlook your second part, I agree with.
I was speaking in general we are a very young team, if you are talking starters (which you did not state) yes we have older guys all over the field.

Gist of the OP was how bad have the contests been for Dome games. whether you bought season tickets or even a single game ticket you been screwed. but hope does await NOV 29th in the BASEMENT BOWL vs BC. should be a thriller. worth every penny for tix, parking, meals etc...

In 2022 we were 6-0 and ranked 14th in the U.S.
We lost a tough game to Clemson and got hit with injuries.
There was a lot of hope.
In 2023 we started 4-0 and we got hit with injuries.
This year we had hope at 3-1 and got hit with injuries.
Scott Shafer got hit with injuries - especially at QB.
The Syracuse football program has had a fundamental issue for years - a lack of quality depth.
I am hopeful that Fran Brown will change that dynamic, but that has been the issue for years.
