The Pathway is Open to Make the Move

[sufan59]

Based on yesterday results, the only two teams left on the schedule that look stronger is Miami and maybe Georgia Tech. I know many here feel like it’s a developmental year. However, things are shaping up that if the team continues to get closer and execute more consistently. We can send a huge message to the ACC this season that can become a national message as soon as next season (why not even this season). Why not us, Syracuse, can be the ones to dethrone and benefit the most on a stale Clemson program?

Yes and no. Our lines are a huge problem. And our defense remains a problem as a whole. No opponent is beyond an upset… but the road is still uphill unless our lines and defense improve.

I want to be wrong but whoever was touting the offensive line in the preseason was feeding us a line of…….The OL along with the mess of a defense that ERob and Wright have constructed….i just don’t see it. Will we be favored in another game this season? Maybe UNC?

Clemson lost on the road on a 55 yd FG. They play GT 10 times it’s probably 7-3 Clemson

I severely disagree.

Don’t get too caught up in the beer muscles from Colgate. We are a week from nearly losing to UCLOWN who lost to a non-BCS team yesterday.

I think we give Clemson a game. Hopefully nothing stupid happens or a phantom penalty kills our chance to win late.

They’ve scored 58 points and have 5 turnovers in 3 games. They looked terrible against Troy who lost to Memphis by 3 touchdowns at home yesterday.

Not that it matters but I think Delaware is BCS now.

I think you are right. And it was the first BCS win they’ve had.

Delaware is FBS now if that's what you meant (just joined C-USA), but your overall point remains.

The best way of determining what will happen in the future is past behavior. Both coaches at Tech and Miami seem to somehow to screw up at least one game a year, maybe more than one.

I think the OPs point is that coming into the season the schedule seemed extremely difficult, but there weeks in, some of the teams may not be the juggernaut we assumed.

I don't know how good we are yet, but this game against Clemson before the first snap of the season looked impossible. Now, not so much. They look like a program that hasn't quite clicked. Let's see if we can force them in to more struggles.

There’s some 2024 FSU vibes with them. Angeli>Klubnik is our chance.

Given what we've witnessed to date - a perception that seems to be backed up by the stats that GoSU96 referenced in another thread - you have to squint pretty hard not see that your "Open Pathway" could be an oncoming train.

The opening point spread vs that "stale Clemson program" could be the train whistle. We have a lot of work to do...
