Post Colgate thread

We didn’t get the run game going which is disappointing. I think Nixon needs less carries.

Why is it that when we blitz it is picked up with ease but when others blitz us our OL acts like when Jackie Moon invented the allyoop?

If you told me Reese had only 2 sacks after the first 3 games I would be disappointed. The TEAM only has two right now.

A blind squirrel should get 2-3 TFL a game. It is almost impossible to achieve what we do with our front 6/7.

Well in the run game’s defense. We were also without our best running back.

look at his stats for the first 3 games. Back to back 400+.

Against UCONN and Colgate. The rest of the schedule is demonstratively more difficult, starting next week when we get absolutely dog walked against Clemson.

Even when Shafer was running the smurf defensive backfield we still had some very good LB's and a decent DE or 2.

True, but his defenses also had some real stinkers. The defense against GT was as bad of a defensive game as any I've seen from an SU team.

One play but I’m excited about Carney. He had a quick decisive first step.

Oh come on

Shafer actually paid a wishbone "consultant" for that game. Worst money ever spent

How many 400 yard games McCord have last year against a much weaker schedule. If anything it's a good sign. I think the offense can be pretty good.

Tylik Hill can help this team. He can make people miss with his jump cuts which is needed with our run blocking. Darien Williams should also be moving up the depth chart, explosive.

I am so excited about Williams kids got it

Very strange, considering it's arguably the easiest position to recruit for. I know we typically only play 2 LB's, but it's amazing with a roster this size we don't have at least 1 dude at the position.

Deslauriers is fast becoming a dude...

Others on Dude Watch: Jamie Tremble, David O, Caden Brown

LBs won't get all the way there this year, but it could be Dude Ranch quicker than you think.

We played weaker teams than Colgate and UConn? Colgate, I think it’s safe to say that’s the worst team we’ve played during Fran’s short tenure. UConn, let’s put a pin in UConn right now and circle back when we have a bigger sample size.

 

[Cuse On 3]

People are trashing the D, but we only gave up 3 points and not many yards in the first half. They pulled their starting QB by halftime.

The second half was a different story. The defense didn't bother to show up in the 3rd quarter. But they were not that bad early in the game. Lots of overreaction on here.

Preach

Antoine is a dude

That's the spirit.

After Clemson had to come back on the Citadel or whatever.

Well this is encouraging!

Always good to have Bobbies back

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Colgate is Terrible, not sure what you take away from this game.

My take away is we're 2-1 which is in line with expectations. Need to scratch and claw our away to four more wins, a bowl, and keep positive recruiting momentum.

Just not back boobies

Starting as a true Frosh i would say he’s doing ok, but other than the last 2 plays of the UConn game has he popped off the screen any other time? I wish Caden Brown would get some run but if he’s not playing with this group that’s not a good sign.

i agree Tremble is a dude. Him and Samuels seems to have the highest floor from just a raw physical attributes standpoint.

Deslauriers made a huge jump from TN to UCONN, he was the highest rated defender in the UCONN game.
I agree he has work to do but it was encouraging to see him make a big jump in week 2.
