But we haven’t really tried to, except at the end of the GT game: this is a pass-first team. We’ve done well converting 3rd and 4th downs. When OPPONENT had the ball: Drive Starts: 241/11 = O22/859, 279/10 = O28/721 TOTAL= 520/21 =O25 with 1,580 yards to go. (They have had 2 more possessions than we have.)

For some reason, we are particularly weak on second down. We are 2-0 but the opposition has won 10 more plays than we have. We are blade-running. We need to improve to be a truly strong team. HISTORICAL WINNING PLAYS – The Fran Brown Era 2024 Ohio University 80-93 = -13 Georgia Tech 90-87 = +3 TOTAL: Syracuse: 170 Opponents 180 = -10 We have won 48.6% of the plays, (Dino Babers won 48.8%) and 50% of the games, based on winning plays, (Dino won 39.8%), The other team has achieved their goals on 10 more plays than we have, 5.0 per game.
