Why didn’t they stick with the run? It was working and they had plenty of time.Moronic once they got inside the 20
His WRs are not helping. I’d bench Worthy.Ewers awful again.
Normal Texas play? They’re shitty.What the hell was that, Texas?
Eh they beat a shitty tesm who hasn’t scored a touchdown in 6+ quarters. Not exactly 2021 Georgia out there.Statement win for Froggy.
FSU went to backup QB with 5 minutes left in 3rd. This could have been worse and mostly because Syracuse was awful not that Noles were great. They played solid but SU was truly terrible. Have fallen hard since 6-0. I don’t watch them but something must be up, they played like they don’t practice.Florida State won back to back road games 45-3 and 38-3. Amazing.
Syracuse has lost 4 in a row.
A lot of it has to do with them losing their QB. He went out in the Clemson game I believe.FSU went to backup QB with 5 minutes left in 3rd.

This doesn’t seem right, maybe he is playing hurt?A lot of it has to do with them losing their QB. He went out in the Clemson game I believe.
I guess he only missed a game and a half. Maybe still hurt or just bad.This doesn’t seem right, maybe he is playing hurt?
Don’t know I how missed this, but it’s spot on. The lack of an elite Qb continues to plague the program, and I think is the primary thing that prevents them from seriously contending for another national championship. That can cover being a little less elite and explosive at WR. But in most other areas, they’ve recruited pretty well for a decade. Somehow, and likely through the transfer portal as you point out, they need to get that “guy”.Second half drive chart

ND has a great defense and special teams, but is extremely limited by the talent at quarterback and wide receiver. The Naval Academy was able to play man coverage often with no safety help and challenge the receivers to get open and for Pyne to get the ball out fast. It was a disaster. (This was very similar to Marshall’s game plan.)
Now the current coaching staff isn’t responsible for the wide receivers talent gap and indeed more talented players already are on the way.
Quarterback recruiting is less clear. CJ Carr is committed for 2024, but 2023 is empty. Rees is partially responsible for the bad QB room through poor evaluations (Buchner over McCarthy) and having Jurkovec transfer out. Freeman also didn’t prioritize a transfer QB last offseason. Getting a transfer QB should be priority number one for 2023.
The good news is that things have already improved since last weekend. Four-star quarterback Kenny Minchey decommitted from Pitt then immediately scheduled an official visit, so that is looking promising for 2023.Don’t know I how missed this, but it’s spot on.
