But we haven’t really tried to, except at the end of the GT game: this is a pass-first team. We are 40-4 on kicking plays but our opponents are 40-2 and our 4 lost plays include 2 blocked kicks.

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. 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 2-1 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 TOTAL: Syracuse: 247 Opponents 271 = -24 We have won 47.7% of the plays, (Dino Babers won 48.8%) and 33% of the games, based on winning plays, (Dino won 39.8%), The other team has achieved their goals on 24 more plays than we have, 8.0 per game.
