very rare to win with 326 yards or less

syracuse is 18-74 in those games since 2000

oh god we've had the most games with 326 yards or less

totally cherry picked, a lot of those games, we gained about 7 yards give or take.

when we gain between 300 and 326, we are 10-11, which is surprisingly good actually.

Win the turnover battle and most often you will win the game regardless I would bet is the case.

SU had 285 yards in the first half. How often do you see a team on pace at half for 570 yards end up at the end of the game with 326?

And do the 25 from OT go in that total because that means 16 yards in the second half

I'm not sure, but I was following yardage throughout the game. The second half yardage was probably 16.

If anyone can do it, it's the Cuse!

Let's hope they stay healthy and put together more of what saw in the first half. The defense definitely deserves some credit for battling in the second half and finding a way to force some turnovers and get some stops.

The defense was getting gashed but who wouldn't after spending 45 minutes on the field. They held when it mattered most. That is all heart and willpower.

Yeah, in some ways the second half was shades of last season. Lets hope the first half in some ways was shades of the future.

That 2nd half reminded me of Gerg. Hoping it was an aberration.

When the SU defense plays bend but don't break and a lot of zone they slow down and sometimes remind me of that era. They need to be better when playing zone. However, compared to that era, in 2009 HCSS, then DCSC, abruptly improved the defense. This unit is young and needs to improve on the back end.
