If he doesnt fumble i truly believe this is a much different game.

If he doesn't fumble we lose? I'm sorry i haven't had coffee yet and feel like i missing something obvious.

I don’t see how it would have made a big difference and changed the game. Liberty didn’t score the next possession. It cost us 25 yards but we weren’t moving the ball the first half regardless where we started.

I wonder about the 4th down pass that the Liberty kid foolishly caught, giving them possession inside their 10 instead of out by mid field.

Riley’s mistakes used to cost us games. See LSU and MTSU. Now the rest of the team is good enough to overcome them

He’s the only one who made a mistake in those games? What were his mistakes last year?

You can make that argument even stronger about Joshua Mack's fumble. Huge play by Trill.

If tommy threw that pick 6 then the game would really be different. Football is a game of inches and what ifs.

I like Sean Riley and what he brings to the Syracuse Offense and Special Teams. The only things that drive me nuts is that he drops easy passes at crucial times and that he used more than he does now, allow a punt to hit the ground and roll backwards causing his offense to start deep in their own territory. He did it once in the Liberty game. I'm not saying by any means that he has to return the punt, but at least fair catch it. Go Orange!!!

When was the last time he truly dropped an easy pass?

I hope someone doesn't say that Nolan Ryan fastball that DeVito threw to him from about 5 feet away.

But I'll always have a slight mental scar for that TD drop in Baton Rouge. Probably the best pass Dungey threw in his entire time here.

Punt returners can’t put the ball on the ground. Especially a guy his size - he has to protect the ball and himself even more.

With that said, with the game Tommy and the WRs had, not sure if it makes much of a difference.

First quarter of the Liberty game next possession after he fumbled the punt.

Tend to agree. That gave them hope and you could see them perk up taking the field again. Hopefully that's out of his system because we can't have that this week or next

I would’ve loved to have seen a replay of the fumble, but you know, ESPN+.

Liberty

I agree. I believe we win 24-0 with 1 less fumble in our box score.

I apologize to you. Yes DeVito did throw it to hard from that close.

 

[ImperialOrange]

I think we would've scored, deflated them, and rolled to a much prettier scorelines but we'll never know.

Pretty good place to be expectations wise when a 24 point road win and feels like we only played our C game overall.
