Syracuse Post Game Thread

Sorry to be a glass half empty guy but I was very disappointed with this loss. It would have been sweet to finish 8-4 and say we beat a P4 conference team. Especially cuse who I hate. 8-4 is nice but our schedule was a joke

The big 10 schedule is a joke and they have pretty much almost half the playoffs spots

Also, it’s clear where we stand. We’re funded and coached well enough to be a top G5 program. We missed on the QB portal - that’s not ideal but it’s ok, LSU and FSU both missed hard this year too. We’ll keep improving. I’m hyped for next season.

Used to be missing on a top QB meant you were out a Trans-Am with T-tops or more recently an Escalade and maybe some free grub at a steakhouse.

Now you miss on a QB and you're out anywhere from $250k to more than a million.

Mora post-game:

-> Fagnano for UConn, for now: UConn coach Jim Mora chose Joe Fagnano to start at quarterback, citing his winning performances as a backup and Nick Evers‘ lingering foot and hip injuries. But he hinted Evers could be back to play vs. UMass next week.

“Joe’s done some really good things for us when we’ve put him in those situations,” Mora said. “We felt that was the best decision for today’s game, it means nothing going forward.” … <-

I don't want to ever see Evers as our QB again. Ugh!

the first half they looked like they had a bye the week before. Sloppy defense and bad passes into the ground. Just looked to be sleepwalking and going through the motions. Second half was better, but not enough to stop Syracuse from getting in the end zone. We are a better team than we showed early on and Fagnano was better as the game went, but not good enough in the end. The team is better by far and it was expected to be a tough game on the road with your 2nd string QB. All in all not that disappointed with a close loss.

Last 2 drives of each half were beautiful with each unit - play calls, QB, OL, WRs - in sync and flowing. Unfortunately, we couldn't muster enough of these kind of drives and kept our defense and Cuse's offense on the field for far too long. Not Joe's or Sammis' best games. Joe missed at least a half dozen throws he's routinely made throughout his career. Sammis dialing up a deep shot on 4 and 2 in the 4th was inexplicable and only 17 carries when we were having some success running the ball and needed to keep McCord on the sidelines.
Time to move on and get ready to pummel UMass into oblivion.
