Effort

On the first play of the second quarter of Syracuse's 41-10 loss to South Florida, USF's Aston Samuels took the handoff and ran 75 yards before he was chased down by Dowayne Davis and tackled at the 3-yard line.
It wasn't quite the stage of Bebee vs. Lett but in a terrible season, it's nice to see guys like Davis still making the effort.
Thanks to two goal line stands and 3 penalties, USF had to settle for a field goal, meaning Davis's effort saved 4 points. It could have been 45-10.
Plus, I thought this picture was really cool.

Dowayne Davis shows a lot of heart by never giving up and tackling Aston Samuels just short of the endzone

    I had the same thought watching this game. My question is how did this affect the spread?

    oh we didn't cover... trust me.

    but you got to like the hustle out of Davis. One of the VERY few times I was impressed by a Syracuse player this season.

    Honestly, one of the top 4 plays of the season... Maybe Max Suter's KR vs Louisville, Mike Williams' circus catch at end of Pitt game and maybe a Taj Smith catch and score vs Louisville?
