Why would anyone get a reality check? We know what we are. We know what Evers is. I think we all know we probably lose to Cuse and we throw for 100yds. So what? Keep beating that horse. I’m going to enjoy the improved team and root for increasing success.
We threw for 262 vs Wake and 135 vs Duke though he also ran for 60 in that one. I kinda think we have a gameplay that works against the opponent’s weaknesses and tries to exploit them. But that’s just me. It’s more likely that Jim Mora knows nothing about football and hired an OC who knows less and intentionally is trying to undermine himself.

Missed my point. Maybe I missed the point of the poster I was quoting but his implication was that we would be surprised. I don’t think we will. As fans I think most of us know what we have on the team this year. I think we could beat Syracuse but I won’t be shocked if we don’t. It’s not delusional, as the poster I quoted was suggesting, to celebrate some success.

I agree with you. I think that way too. I could have been clearer. I was just pointing out that Sammis has been pretty good at designing an offens that plays to our strengths and that attacks the other teams’ weaknesses. We struggled to run against Wake so Evers threw for 265. When Fagnano played, he doesn’t run that well so we threw the football much more but still didn’t abandon the running game. If we can run for 250 yards, I like our chances against almost anyone. We threw when we needed to throw and were reasonably successful. On top of all that our offense scores points. We are 38 in scoring offense so far at 35 point/game. That certainly isn’t awful.

After the Wake Forest and Rice games, mostly everyone here were complaining about Sammis and the play calling. I guess the wind blew in a different direction this past week. May it continue to blow in the same direction in Birmingham this Saturday.

He’s improving. He still needs to show more flexibility in attacking what D is giving him. But let’s be honest, this is the best set of coordinators in eons

He looks the same against bad teams as he does against good ones. He’s very consistent.

Most of the yards against Wake were garbage yards as Wake was basically letting him throw in the 4th.
