I think SU wanted to go long early and put the game away early.  However, Liberty should be credited with planning on stopping the long ball (similar to Dino's philosophy) as much as Tommy's errors in plays and as much as the receivers failing to catch balls in their hands. Overall, the adjustments were made and a few mistakes failed to capitalize on the adjustments.

The inability to game plan for a team slowed us down at least a full quarter to discover what was available to us.  That left 45 minutes to exploit the adjustments.  Again, Tommy made a few errors but you cannot blame him for dropped balls, especially when the ball hits the hands of the receivers.

Plainly, SU won by 24 points.  the offense worked.  TD improved as the game went on, finishing at 17/35 with 176 yards, or 10+ yards per completions and 5 yards per attempt.  However, he managed the game well, never lost his control and walked away with a W.

Please recall that Liberty has D1 players and has an accomplished passer with good receivers, nobody expected SU to blow them away by 50 points.  Yes, the defense gets the credit for the shut-out.  Tommy gets the W for managing the offense.  And we all know that Tommy can play much better than he did last night.
