Message: [QUOTE="nycfan, post: 2343479, member: 583"] Well that's a little silly but getting back to tonight's game. If you are going to do this, you didn't mention the worst play of the game for Syracuse. With 1:43, it's 3rd and 3. A first down wins the game. Instead of running a play, SU inexcusably gets called for a "delay of game" (this one was slightly worse than the one you mentioned as first play of the game). So instead of a fairly manageable 3rd and 3, it becomes a difficult 3rd and 8 against the #2 team in the country, with the prospect of blowing the huge upset. To make matters worse, SU still had 2 time outs left in their pocket, so could have have avoided the devastating, game-changing 5 yard penalty simply by calling a time-out. So I hate to bring this up on such a glorious night in the history of SU football, but you started the thread--so at least get the real downside listed if you are going to do it! [/QUOTE]
