Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 382537, member: 716"] Smith had a first-half run that got us inside the ten (maybe down to around the five). A Rutgers defender tracked him down. That run would have been a touchdown for every Syracuse first-string tailback from about 1987 to 2004. And regarding the receivers: yes. I don't know that neither would have started through the '90s, but it's clear that that position is hurting the team. People are quicker to bash Nassib (who's earned a bit of bashing); all we hear is that Sales is a gamer. Gamer? Please. A receiver who never gets separation, blocks half-heartedly, and drops a pass per game isn't a gamer, he's a weak link. Hate to second-guess the coaches on most things, but why did Flemming lose four games with an injury, then appear on player participation for two games with no involvement in the offense? He supposedly had a good summer. If he can contribute, use him. If he can't, use the redshirt. [/QUOTE]
