With a sizable cushion and firmly in charge, Syracuse offensive coordinator Pat March was ejected and given a three-minute non-releasable penalty. I’ve never seen a coach or assistant thrown out. Let’s hope he had ESPN+. The loss of composure allowed the Big Red to stop the bleeding and halt the one-sided momentum. I wouldn’t call this the “game of the year”, because the level of play on defense wasn’t stellar and the officiating was sub-par. You can’t deny however, that this game was highly entertaining, controversial, unpredictable, zany and filled with plot twists and turns. It was nuts. If you watched, as I did on ESPN+, you may have struggled to fall asleep afterwards. If you’re an SU fan, you may still be experiencing nightmares. The 18-17 double overtime loss, throws a spotlight on Syracuse maturity level, lack of poise, lack of discipline and poor game management issues. How do you blow leads of 7-0, 13-6 and 16-10? The junk yard dogs man down unit, not a bad group at stopping EMO attempts, has showed clearing deficiencies and lends itself to opponents match-up superiority after the penalty time expires. Both the Maryland and Cornell OT losses showed how this unit is negatively impacting the bottom line. #HHH held Duke to four goals and let up 18 against Cornell. They are Top 10 in defensive efficiency and dramatically improved from 2023. Otto has three overtime losses to Maryland, Army and Cornell. They’ve got two remaining games in the month of April – North Carolina and Virginia. The time off, to refocus on fundamentals, isn’t the worst thing in the world. Syracuse travels to UNC for a game they really need. [/QUOTE]
