Injuries going forward are key.

Kendall Coleman did not return. If he's out for long, that's a big loss.

I didn't notice if Conway made it back in.

Erv looked good out there tonight but had a tough physical game. Need him healthy.

Not having Cordy really hurt us. A few mistakes on some routine stuff by Martin that I have to believe don't happen with #8 back there.

Lack of depth is a concern. But just don’t see how this team wins more than 5 games. I’m looking for progress and growth and a better 2018 season. But I think program is 2-3 years away from a bowl game.

I’ll be thrilled with 5 W’s this year. Would love to make a bowl next year in Dungeys last year. Think we’ll be ready to put legitimately good teams out there around DeVito in 2-3 years. Wish we had more for Dungey to play with. Kid played good enough to win tonight regardless of that pick. He competed and made things happen.

You don't think we can progress and grow our way to 6 wins next season?

With better OL and WR play we could. Hope it happens. I wanted this W for Dungey more than I wanted it for me. Kid was bringing it.

Gotta hope our LB'er play doesn't regress too much in '18.

 

[Cuse'91]

Don't like saying it, but Custis out is a blessing. Cavalry is coming with Butler and Pierce... Added to steady Ish and Erv, is a potent O...

I haven't given up on getting 6 wins this season.

Saw Coleman with his family after the game wearing a boot.
Conway did return.

Nor should anyone. This team has four more in them. Pitt, BC, Wake. I think we win next week, and have a shot against Miami. I'm not throwing 7 out the window yet. They are making that Dino turn.

Coleman looked like his ankle got rolled. Hopefully we get him back at some point but have to think he's out for at least a few weeks (4 to 6 more likely). Also forgot about Black in the OP. Would be big to have him next week.

There’s been progress and growth this season. The D is much better, IMO.

We’ll compete in every game and will get one that seemed out of reach preseason.

Agreed.

Order of likely wins to least likely:

1. PITT
2. BC
3. Wake
4. NC State
5. Miami
6. Louisville
7. FSU
8. Clemson

All tough, but the first 3 are very winnable. NC State and Miami are more talented but not consistently good. Louisville is a 1 man show, but he can win games on his own. FSU looks mortal. Clemson? Who knows - but at least we get them at home.

Why was his family wearing a boot?

 

[FasterCuse]

I think we get to 6 this year. We've played real well in the games we lost. Eventually through the law of averages the breaks will go our way.

I haven't rewatched the game...you sure Conway returned? Syr.com story said he didn't.

Absolutely sure.

Hopefully not an upper...

Absolutely sure.

I think he came back a play or two later
