But we haven’t really tried to, except at the end of the GT game: this is a pass-first team. The number of negative passing plays increases as opposing teams realize that’s the only thing we’re really good at. When OPPONENT had the ball: Drive Starts: 241/11 = O22/859, 279/10 = O28/721, 310/12 = O26/890, 328/14 = O23/1,072 TOTAL= 1,158/47 =O25 with 3,542 yards to go, 348 more than SU in 2 more possessions.

We need to improve to be a truly strong team. Our opponents this year have attempted 8 field goals. They’ve made 7, (thank you, Georgia Tech), but keeping the other team out of the end zone has allowed us to go 3-1 while we struggle through these games. HISTORICAL WINNING PLAYS – The Fran Brown Era 2024 Ohio University 80-93 = -13 Georgia Tech 90-87 = +3 Stanford 77-91 = -14 Holy Cross 112-71 = +41 TOTAL: Syracuse: 359 Opponents 342 = +17 We have won 51.2% of the 701 plays, (Dino Babers won 48.8%) and 50% of the 4 games, based on winning plays, (Dino won 39.8%), The our team has achieved their goals on 17 more plays than we have, 4.25 per game. Take a picture of it: we’re ahead in the Fran Brown Era. Dino was behind for 8 years. [/QUOTE]
