Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 5331577, member: 694"] This was the biggest play-call I was hoping they'd do differently, although I was hoping for a screen pass, take advantage of the overcommitment to getting in the backfield and dump a comparatively safe pass over the rush. That said... I don't think the play-calling was the issue... it was the execution. Fagnano went cold (and Syracuse started to pressure him), there were a couple of drops, the only yards gained prior to that drive in the 4th quarter came via the run, Fagnano was 0-5 passing at that point and they'd run 8 times for 57 yards (if you take out the Edwards big gainer it's still 7 for 32). They didn't convert enough on third down to give the defense a break and Syracuse which had hit a few chunk plays throughout the game, was able to take advantage. [/QUOTE]
