Kraggers Last Stand. If Syracuse wins today, there's a good chance ol' Stevie doesn't make it to Monday. Winner gets their first Big East win of the year. Loser...doesn 't.
As usual, leave your pre-, in- and postgame comments below. G'Orange.

Feel the pressure
From Syracuse’s side, 15,000 quasi-fans will be ready to bail if we lose a so-called “must win” game. No regard to location of game, team health, etc. Sad.
From Louisville’s side… coach’s career is on the line.
I hate predictions. Nobody knows what will happen. All I know is.. GO CUSE!

Ugh
I hope we win, but I’m not as confident as some. Our roster is like a walking M*A*S*H unit. I say it’s like a 40% chance of victory today for the Orange. At best.

Who will out field-goal the other team in this one

as good as delone ran the ball on that 1st drive
he’s got to do a better job in pass protection. that turnover is on him
Syracuse's offense
will gain 230 yards in total today, Delone Carter will have 225 of them.

Which punter?
Lichty (made that up) had a nice pooch punt.
So this is what those Temple/Rutgers games
in the 1990s looked like.
I have just about run out of fun with the Paulus experiment. The old saying is that three things can happen on a pass and only one of them is good. That is a stupid saying… there is a sack option too, as well as a holding penalty.
I cannot take the stress of Paulus in the pocket. I really don’t want him to do anything. If he throws it it will be deflected or intercepted. If he doesn’t throw it, it will be a sack, with the potential for a fumble.
Yikes.
I don't know
I could do without seeing the Verizon ad 30 more times though. I am turning the station just to find different commercials to watch. Ahhh… the Big 10 Network… an Allstate ad featuring those two retarded tailgaters.
Can we just not field punt returns anymore?
Why can’t I be happy that we are getting the ball back? Too many adventures.
Making up penalties
I know we’re bad, but they don’t need to make up penalties to slow us down.
Go Orange(men)!

Especially since
We aren’t beating Rutgers. And we only have a chance against UConn because they appear to be cursed this year (they’ve lost five games by a field goal or less).
really, you think we can't beat rutgers?
they have a freshman qb who has looked worse than paulus this year.
Savage doesn’t have the greatest completion % but he doesn’t turn the ball over. If the team that showed up against USF comes into the Dome then SU really doesn’t have much of a chance.

Play to win, rather than run out the clock.
Could not agree more
Our special teams coverage obviously blows. Stop kicking to the guy. Rob Long stupidly outkicked his coverage not once, but twice. Sickening loss.

Of course the season ends on a Paulus INT
At least it kept us entertained until ball season began
The 'Cuse is in tha house, oh my God oh my God.
Wow
Losing the game on another poorly thrown pass by Greg Paulus. Typical. He is so shitty.
Speaking of shitty, our special teams coverage. Unbelievable.
I love Marrone, but if he starts Paulus next week – with no “bowl game” to play for – then he is out of his f*cking mind. He brings nothing to the table, and he’s gone after this year. Nassib may suck too, but he needs the reps. This team is just absolute garbage.

Umm
Yeah maybe – but how about an on target pass? No excuse for throwing behind a guy on a five yard slant. Unbelievable.

Yeah, try and blame Paulus, keep trying. It won’t make it the receiver’s fault any less.
Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.

Wow
Really? That was a shitty throw and a shitty attempt by Sales. I’ve never bagged on Paulus all year, but blindly defending him on that play makes no sense. The throw was bad, and Sales did a terrible job of catching it. But since Paulus is the QB, yes, he will get the blame.

It was a poor throw, but an even poorer attempted catch
I was real excited for Sales, and he makes plays once in awhile (unlike Lobdell), but I see no drive or emotion from him at all. Hanging with Mike Williams must have done wonders for his attitude. The short-bus teams and offense ruined a truly great defensive performance today. And once again, Doug plays not to lose instead of playing to win. Another feather in our cap.

and we're all pissed at each other
at least we have basketball season.
CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!
if paulus plays at all...
…for the rest of the season, this team is going nowhere for a while.
The throw may not have been perfect
but there’s no way you let that ball through your arms when you’re untouched. Either way, tough day for the CBA guys.

Say what you will about Troy Nunes...
at least Nunes could throw horizontal and get out of the pocket better
For the first time
I am doubting Marrone.
#1. You make sure that the punt does not go to Guy. You just do. If your old ass special teams coordinator wants to do something different, you fucking overrule him.
#2. All you need is first downs. The other team has 2 timeouts. Keep getting first downs. Playing not to lose = losses.
#3. Paulus is done. He just is. If he can’t lead the team to more than 10 points against Louisville… he has to be done.
#4. It is ironic that Lobdell got called for a hold. Don’t they know that it is physically impossible.
#5. These receivers are terrible. Either catch it or drop it… why must we always figure out a way to make it more interceptable??? We need to go JuCo. Get 4… hope 2 make it through August.
$6. The Big East refs suck. Let’s just start looking around for another conference. Let’s start raising money to join the Big 10. They make bad calls in the Big 10. They don’t ONLY make bad calls in the Big 10. The ref who missed the knee down should be fired. The guy who called the Sales catch should be fired. If the league does not want Syracuse in it… fine… let’s just leave.
Maybe it hasn't really sunk in yet
but we lost on a bobbled extra point. A. Bobbled. Extra. Point. I really cannot fathom this right now. And why do CBA players suck so bad?

I don't know
But they sure do.

Marrone needs to stop calling games like we are good.
We aren’t good. We need to take chances. We can’t play conservative football. Not this year and not next year. We don’t have the personnel or talent to do it. Also, if that’s how we are going to cover on special teams we might as well go for it on fourth down everytime anyway.
to be fair to our guys
on paper, given our numbers and our situation, we had no business winning this game. don’t get me wrong Cuse is terrible, and should have taken every opportunity they were given to win it. I think it speaks louder how bad louisville really is and struggled to beat our obliterated team. In the end louisville gets the W and there’s no excuse for losing on an extra point, but if we had our best players (or even a full roster), louisville doesn’t even sniff a win.
Just sickening
We’re all pissed, because this was a sickening loss to a shitty opponent and, let’s face, it represented our last realistic shot at a win this year. My goats of the game?
The special teams coach, the special teams coverage team, the offense (but they are just plain shitty in general, thanks to injuries and that quitter Mike Williams). Lastly, the loss goes squarely on Marrone. I agree with comments above that he played conservatively a bit, but what really chapped me was his unwillingness to change the punting strategy, and stop kicking to the guy who burned us repeatedly. I love Marrone, but he wasn’t at his best today, that’s for damned sure.
We need to see Nassib more, because we are now “officially” out of bowl contention. No point in playing a 5th year senior anymore at QB.
Oh, and no more recruiting CBA guys. They apparently suck.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
WOW atrocious game.
we should have scored 40 pts on “The Ville.” But our oline sucks, Paulus sucks, our receivers suck. Screw you, CBA ha. Delone did well, and our defense played well too. Damn extra point. blah blah blah blah blah. I am going to Rutgers game next week, and will have been to 7 of the 8 home games this year (missed Cincy game b/c I went to a Navy game). I love my team, but boy, do I love to hate them as well. Start Nassib now, and o yea, SCREW YOU MIKE WILLIAMS.
Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.
