Post Colgate thread

[IthacaMatt]

Arrow up:
Gill looks like a throwback 80s receiver. Lean and tall. His athleticism catches you by surprise.
Tyrik Hill looks like a great find. Have to see if the Madden moves work against bigger competition.
Angeli was slinging it like Kyle a few drives in.
Tremble exploded into the backfield on that sack. Not sure why he can't get on the field at TE but would love to see him bulk up and become a pass rusher.
Samuels seemed to level up and is justifying the hype. Should be on the 3 year path to NFL.
Byron Washington looked like a mountain. Probably needs to improve conditioning to earn starter's time.
Gabe Daniels and Darien Williams didn't look like freshman.
Not sure if Luke Carney was the only QB with his helmet on or if he's the third sting but well executed QB run ice cold on the sidelines when the entire Dome thought he'd hand off.

Arrow down:
Offense line held up in pass protection but wasn't pushing Colgate around in the rush game.
2nd team defense seemed to get gashed more than I would like. Maybe they were holding back on blitzing and Colgate WRs made some high level plays but we should have a huge physical advantage there.
That first drive by Collins was hideous. Nice to see him recover and lead the team down the field in his 2nd drive.

Terrific post. Nice observations. Very well balanced.

Or maybe their confidence is reeling and we have the opportunity to put a nail in the coffin.

We have to get up on them early.

Every kick resulted in a touch back from our lord and savior.

We’re thinking of the future, not the past. It’s on to Clemson and beyond.

Exactly this is setting up to be great for us. 12 noon start, They’re down coming off the loss with in their minds a lesser opponent coming in, hard to get up for, we will be fired up ready to go on the opening whistle etc. If JRS and spoon are ready to go watch for the upset. Wouldn’t that be nice?!

Before the start of the season, I wasn't sure anybody on the roster could kick off into the end zone.
Solid effort by the kickers last night. That includes Tripp Woody (or Woody Tripp?).

Did I misread what you originally wrote lol, I’m too lazy to look.

I’ll sum it up. I said we’re going to lose to Clemson, you said that’s a weird thing to say bc they’re one of the weaker teams we face left on the schedule, I agreed that they are one of the weaker teams left and we’re still going to lose.

I don’t want to piss in your guys Cheerios anymore, I don’t enjoy doing it. I spent years convincing myself bad Syracuse teams were good after thumping poor FCS teams but I can’t really do anymore mental gymnastics to convince myself this is a good team. Young, yes. Optimistic about the future, yes. But as it sits right now, we’re not good.

Tripp Woody, yup! Was good to see. Our special teams have been a drastic improvement.
