Couple other quick things for Friday or really more in general over the next few games.

SU cleared pretty well vs Jax (21-24) can this trend continue? We know how much they have struggled at times with good riding teams and 10 mans. Vermont isn't a 10 man team but I am curious to see how we clear.

Syracuse had 9 turnovers which again is another good sign but SU has been up and down under Gait with turnovers. With a mostly veteran squad out there on both sides I would like to think the turnovers should be down, 9 is a good start.

Penalties were OK with 4 but something to watch as I believe Powell or someone else noted in their post game recap was that the SU defense was sometimes overly aggressive. Something to monitor the next few weeks especially against Towson and Maryland.

Another nice sign from Sat is that offensively and defensively SU didn't have a stretch where they just look lost/out of sorts which was an issue at times last year for sometime extended periods. Again when your up two touchdowns it's easy not to have that happen.

Most of these areas can't really be addressed until SU hits some peer level opponents but a few things I'll be watching for over the next 3 games.
