Although I can say I'm not entirely surprised by what we've seen tonight it 's still somewhat alarming. It's only one game but we really got hammered in every aspect of the game. It's evident that they have an enormous amount of work to do before they can be called a good team.

Perhaps most alarming is the complete ineffectiveness of the defense. That has always been the stalwart backbone of the team. Great defense can allow you to win with less than stellar offensive output. But this team tonight played defense as poorly as I've ever seen a Syracuse team play. That is cause for concern.

Sometimes a thorough shellacking can be a great motivator for a team to use as a catalyst to initiate improvement. I think JB will have everyone's attention moving forward. We'll see how they respond tomorrow night. There certainly is a lot of talent. It's just inexperienced and is going to take time to develop into the kind of team we are accustomed to seeing. I'm confident that they will build off of this loss and will be a very good team before years end.
