“If you give those guys a crease, they’re going to bust it,” McDonald said. “I really have confidence in our guys. It doesn’t matter who we are playing.”
That’s bad news for an Orange special teams group that had trouble containing Northwestern punt returner Venric Mark last week.
 
I emailed Coach Marrone the above quote.  I'm sure it was unnecessary but it made me feel better.  (I also congratulated him on the teams performance, etc.)  In my opinion, if we have any chance to pull of the upset, it's going to be a result of special teams and turnovers.  Really no secret.  For whatever reason, I feel like the majority of coaches underestimate the impact of special teams play.  They all talk about it, but few actually do anything about it.  I'd love to see Beamer Ball applied, considering Marrone had conversations with Beamer regarding the topic.  We'll see how the rest of the season plays out.
