USF / Boca Raton Bowl Gameday...

[IthacaMatt]

I’ve gone from thinking we have a shot at the playoffs next year to thinking it might be a complete fugly disaster.

Like I said, we have to win 8 games next year with all the talent he is bringing in next year, or his 2nd year's recruiting class will look nothing like this one.

 

[orangenauburn]

Half the kids playing today won't be on team next year.

Portal kids know this is an opportunity to come play right away.

There's at least four more additions coming, don't be surprised if that number between now and February hits double digits.

Roster attrition is far from over.

There's three coaches coaching this game who don't have a job lined up elsewhere, and one who may or may not be retained (Lig)

The optics to us as fans are bad, but to a bright opportunist like Fran, it's a selling point to kids who can make a difference moving forward

 

[Jcuse_44]

The great news is in 2 hours this team fully belongs to Fran. This is an ending to a stinky saga. Time to turn the page at 11:30pm tonight.

 

[IthacaMatt]

It should be 17-0 right now. Two of the TDs were flukey garbage. First downs are only 12-7 USF. But it is what it is.

Look, we're just awful to watch. And we brought recruits here to witness this.

 

[CuseBlood44]

One last embarrassing showing on national tv. Thanks Dino

That’s what, 4? UNC VT FSU and tonight. Missing any ?

 

[phil77]

All these extra practices and still the same dumb run my tight end up the middle. Davis looks at least passable as a backup seems no need to run gimmick offense. Plenty of time to get him ready for the bowl. Scary thing is we are keeping some of these offensive coaches.

 

[P Vasiloff]

This type of performance will be exactly what HCFB will use to build DART in his program. We all know he is watching and formulating and come 11:30 or so tonight the real transformation begins. I will watch the second half no matter what and then be very eager for January lifting to start and then Spring 2024 ball. Go Orange and Go HCFB and Staff,!!!!

 

[tptcuse]

I just got home. How are things going?...

 

[CuseBlood44]

Cut the entire line and what’s rest of the QB room. There isn’t 1 guy worth keeping. Recruit over all of them.

But hey Kyle McCord pocket passer is gonna be our savior. News flash nothing changing with this OL

 

[anomander]

Since everyone thinks this is just a big exhibition i hope we come out with all walk ons on both sides of the ball. What’s the point of having Allen, Alford, Hatcher, Villari, Wax, Barron, Clark out there.

 

[JSOrange97]

Fran Brown given a C+ grade as a new HC hire. Debatable and ignorant. Then we come out and lay an egg and make that grade appear generous.

EDIT: And, I completely acknowledge that this isn't Fran's team until 1130

You realize he hasn’t fully taken over yet, right?

 

[Bayside44]

Of course. Threw my edit in to clarify. But outside of Syracuse, pretty sure that is how this will play out in the media.

The media isn’t THAT bad…

 

[hoopsupstate]

Our special teams coach has been awful all year. I would show him the door.

 

[PhatOrange]

Not being able to protect the blindside was a new low. That’s definitely concerning.

Alien took the inside guy.

 

[Eric15]

Look, we're just awful to watch. And we brought recruits here to witness this.

Yeah I hope we just take the recruits to a nearby Hooters or something at halftime.

 

[anomander]

But hey Kyle McCord pocket passer is gonna be our savior. News flash nothing changing with this OL

I’m sure him and Fran are thinking the same now. I would look for some big moves in the portal the next month.

 

[David332]

Don’t ask any questions, just get back in the car and drive. Trust me.

 

[CuseBlood44]

The entire line can go. There are a lot of guys that need the talk

SU won’t realistically be able to get more than 2 new starters in for next year

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Of course. Threw my edit in to clarify. But outside of Syracuse, pretty sure that is how this will play out in the media.

you need to have your head examined

For the love of god I cant think of 1 reason to keep Lig

 

[sugrad68]

Not being able to protect the blindside was a new low. That’s definitely concerning.

Poor coaching put SU quarterback into a position where defense knew they had to pass. From what I've seen team should have gone with Davis from the start which might have kept USF from putting 8 players in the box to stop the run. Game is lost and Davis might not survive the game.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Allen has been poor in the first half. That end around turnover was worse than high school football.

 

[The Ack]

I'm not sure how those two are correlated, but okay?

Yeah, edited for clarity, but outside perception hasn't been as starry-eyed as our own. Ive been over the moon bullish and still am. But i hate that this performance won't do much to influence that.

 

[Dinkyspond]

maybe this will convince people to donate to the NIL collectives

If you just got back from a funeral things were probably better where you were at.
