[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 977057, member: 1555"] Just to throw in some more comments and opinions after rewatching the game on DVR… I’m not sure we would have won the game had we not been the more disciplined team. Syracuse’s penalties at critical times really made a difference. I think we may have been able to get them to jump offside a couple of times by varying our snap count, so credit to us as well. I think both our lines played well overall. We had some apparent missed assignments on some of our run plays, but not bad overall considering Cuse has a pretty good defense. Only allowed one sack. 2 of King’s 4 incompletions could have been caught for high EPA plays. Getting a little concerned about #13’s drops lately. ‘Cuse’s offense was often able to hurt us most consistently when they ran wide, or used WR screens. Their screens were simple setups – quick pass to WR in the flat with a lead blocker. We usually tried covering with a [I]single[/I] DB near the line who got blocked/held.
