Syracuse Still Sucks

The team looks a little better this year and I'm definitely not talking about the uniforms. Too much orange. Orange jerseys with orange pants is a bit much. I do like the helmets with the stately large S.

Andrew Robinson is not great, but I think he can be good if they get him some protection from the offensive line. They started him off with short passes and it led to a field goal drive.

Taj Smith and Mike Williams are excellent receivers. I even like Rice Moss.

Chris Speilman and Colin Cowherd ruin this game for me. The worst announcers I've ever heard. They kept saying absolute nonsense. Sean McDonough called them on it twice and they wouldn't back down. Once on a clear clip, and once when Speilman (I think) commended Robinson for going for it on 4th down, then commended him for deciding to quick kick. After which he said, either way it's a good call.

The Syracuse defense wore down and Washington's offense settled in as their quarterback Jake Locker started to settle in.

Syracuse got a couple good kick returns in this game.

SU ended the second half with a field goal to cut the lead to 8.

Then Washington started the 2nd half with a TD and that was the end of the game.

Same old horrible offense by Syracuse. And eventually the defense wears down.

What a horrible performance overall by this team to get absolutely killed at home by a team that isn't all that good either.

Football is dead on the Syracuse campus. By the fourth quarter there wasn't anyone in the Dome, all the students were probably gone by halftime, except the dorky freshman who are just happy to be there in their first week of college.
