We lost the turnover battle by 5

[McNabb2Brominski]

We had FIVE turnovers; Buttgers had 0. You’re not winning many games when the turnover disparity is that high. If the Taj fumble (that wasnt actually a fumble; thanks B1G refs!) doesn’t happen and we pound it in for 7, we may have won the game and we’re all sittin here talking about how Syracuse football is back!

Was the blocked punt counted as one of the 5 tos? Bc I am having a hard time counting that many

Hard to tell but I think some of the problem is mental. The defense is expecting to get stops and plays hard which is actually short of miracle after last year. The offense needs to find the same attitude though. We have the upperclassmen. You watch some of these top-tier midmajors and their offense takes the field with swagger and expectations. On one three and out we dropped 2-3 straight-perfect passes.
