Theres definitely talent but its spread out on the D and some of it I am afraid it overrated.  The secondary has been a disaster even before Lynn went down, honestly we haven't stopped anyone in the air this year save for Wagner who I think woudl have struggled to score against 11 guys pulled from the stands.  There pretty much zero pressure if we dont blitz as our D ends are either to young or inexperienced (thompson, Welsh) or just not that good at pass rushing (Robinson).  Our Lb's have been good but Lynch has been absolutely abused in pass coverage and Davis and Spruill seem to have big games and then take  step back though they both by far have been the most consistent and best players on our D along wth Bromley. 
 
The problem I have moving forward is outside of the Maryland game (there a mess due to injuries) I dont see one game remaining where this D can really clamp down on a team.  Campanaro is going to have a field day Saturday, BC has been putting up points on Clemson and FSU, Pitt is a mess but does have Street and FSU might score 70 on us (seriously that game is going to be brutal).
 
Combine our bad defense with an offense that is somehow worse and your in a heap of trouble.  People should really look at the offensive stats from the last three games, we have the worst passing offense that I can ever remember a Syracuse team having and we have had some bad offenses over the years.  When Syracuse has a third and 8 it might as well be 3rd and 40 because our passing game is that inept.  Troy Nunes and Jeff Lowe would look like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice on this team.
