Gadget game
Cuse is pulling out all the stops this week. It’s senior day against Rutgers. Open up the ol playbook. That kickoff return, though it only got to the 29, is a portent of things to come.
Nassib on the option
Looks like Nassib just ran the option! First down!
Is anyone else watching? ESPN360 folks
Did
Nassib start?

I think so
I think he went in on 1st down…but then Nassib ran a bunch of plays in a row immediately after.
I couldn't get 360 until i did this...

Seriously, watch this team
This is fun to watch! 7-0
They’re running reverses and the option and all kinds of crazy shit. Alec Lemon even caught a pass!
It is exciting right now,
but unfortunately I’m just waiting for the crash. Hope I’m wrong. Maybe this week could be the anti-two weeks ago??
54 yard kickoff return for Rutgers
WTF?! How is this happening every week
WATCH THIS GAME
This team looks GOOD. Now that ForthCountry posted the login, you have no excuse!
seriously, where has this play calling been.
Is the o-line just playing that much better?
I don't remember him doing kickoffs last year
but your point is 100% correct. Take a bit off Rob and keep it in play.
ESPN Sucks
Screw 360. Just screw it. We get to see them get raped by Pitt, but not this game?
Sometimes when Brandon Triche is on, he's really fucking on.
so you're not watching the game on 360?
Forth Country just put up a link.
Seriously.
If nothing else, Marrone seems to be a good evaluator of talent. Bringing in the Thomas’s in a difficult recruiting class, and the personel changes he’s made with what he has. I am excited to see what he can do with a full recruiting class.
Safety...wah wahhh
Why did Rob Long take so long to put his foot on the ball?! Damn it.
He's packing his things
There is no excuse for how bad the special teams is playing.
if the offense didn't blow chunks this year
our defense would look pretty good. Definite improvement from last year.
I could deal with nassib as our QB

Ok
I’m back now that I can actually watch the game. Oh and Cuse is winning, I know pathetic
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
I never would have expected this
think a little bit of the basketball team’s swagger rubbed off on these guys?
What
is going on right now? Where was this last week?

Kiss her where it smells, take her to New Jersey #BeatRutgers
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
i am so disappointed in Sean
the #BeatRutgers tag is one of the best during the season
Its bad karma
Until we win 3 Big East games in a year… we are the punchline of every joke.
Go Cuse!
Beating a BE team, any BE team, in football >> beating UNC in basketball
Sometimes when Brandon Triche is on, he's really fucking on.
+1
Oh the shit I will talk at work on Monday

ugh...
I just don’t understand. They go for the onside kick with a huge lead in the first half, but won’t go for a pass on 3rd and long with a big defecit in the fourth?
Bailey
Bailey is a better returner than Mike Jones was. He just RUNS…FAST. I feel like Jones was always so slow to get going and pick a direction.
Syracuse
Copying the Bills after scoring? Not really a good idea
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
Can
We please try more arm tackles? They seem to work so well.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
That was NOT a hit - it was a good no call
The kicker kept his leg sticking straight out. Thomas was already watching the ball. How was he supposed to know that the kicker had his leg out? Why not call tripping on the kicker?
He put his leg out after the kick
Serves him right.
Aw

Bailey
Can he return punts too? He just gets up to speed so much faster than these other guys
Too
early to start winding clock right now?

forthcountry
you da man………………..just came on here to bitch about not being able to watch our 1 big east win……………….and saw your post great info ty dude
You gotta be joking
A blocked FG…and a blocked punt today. WHAT THE HELL
Cop out
That feels like a cop out – our line isn’t THAT porous and our players aren’t so slow that they can’t stop the big returns that keep happening. It seems like the discipline that we’ve seen on defense isn’t translating to special teams.
UConn just missed a last second FG
after a Notre Dame fumble
going to OT
Sorry, wrong kick.
The one Rutgers made was a 25 yarder. The one UConn missed was 37.
I'm telling you
He flopped and hurt himself a little in the process. I’m sure he used to be a soccer player and was just trying to draw a yellow card (or in this case flag) on Thomas.
3 is better then 7
and to be honest I’m shocked RU didn’t go for that. The way SU has been driven, they might not have time for 2 possessions
But we are an injury-plagued Syracuse...
if they really think of themselves as Top 25, they should get it back.
A good drive
should be get us close to the end here
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10
ANOTHER?!
Another blocked punt? Fortunately this one still went for 35 yards on the bounce. But COME ON! McCourtey was hardly touched – where are these blockers going!?!
Someone is going to steal scott schafer away from us in the off season. Hes too good not to be at a big program.
This will
be a big program in a year or two. I can just feel it.

We are

DAVID PORTER
He is very goood (Shafer) but I don't think he's going anywhere yet
I think Marrone got a staff that will stick till things turn around before they leave on their own
Shafer can do a lot of good things on defense, once recruiting picks up this defense if going to be nuts in the dome
I want to say his wife is somewhat local
or something like that was in the profile when they hired him. Not sure if it’s upstate or just that Ohio is closer to SU than Standford
Blitzing
too much. They’re picking it up every time

HAHA back-to-back Senior Day losses for ND against teams they were supposed to smack.

I love the attitude of these guys. We have freshman making huge plays. HCDM can id talent and coach em up. I cant wait to see how they play with another year under their belts.
Any
recruits will help this team right now. Just filling scholarships will make this team competitive again

Classy move running on fourth
I of course would have liked another FG. After all, you need
to win big to help your BCS standings :)

Savage looked like Brett Favre on Strahan's record-breaking sack
He just…went down…almost out of respect. And also fear.
Marrone tells Schiano at midfield
“I hear the lamentation of your women. And I will start taking our recruiting ground back now, thank you very much.”

Just like the old days
We might not be the best team, but at least we didn’t lose to Rutgers

Doug Hogue
gets the bone. he has to. School record in TFL! Think of the guys we have had on our D. Wow.
Wow.
I just saw the score and started laughing my ass off. I hope my friend’s fiancee (a BIG Rutgers fan) won’t start hating me now (I don’t think I told him I root for Syracuse). But I will get to laugh at all my Rutgers fan coworkers (who know I love Syracuse and mock me for it).
Was
worth it. And to think I wasn’t going to watch this game today

What a phenomenal 3 days as a ’Cuse fan. I am ecstatic.
Definitely
this makes up for quite a few miserable weekends

Better than that
Cincy/LeMoyne/Williams quitting week. :-)
All we had to do was keep Sean
from doing that stupid #tags thing.
as a Philly resident, I have tons of anti-new jersey lines….but, I refrained for the betterment of the team. So, I like to think that I did my part…
Although, what’s the difference between Jersey Girls and trash? Trash gets picked up.
New Jersey, the only state where it’s free to get in, but they charge you $4 to leave!
I was in Philly in August, made a wrong turn, had to get on the bridge to NJ, and that was pretty f’ed up how you have to do that.
$4 screwup, not to mention having to drive through Camden where I believe I saw a drug bust in progress. It was $4 I happily paid, too.
And the trash joke is a classic.
moving from Syracuse to Philadelphia, the concept of going to another state so quickly and easily was very foreign… let’s face it, when you’re in Syracuse, it’s quicker to go to Canada than just about any other state. It’s not as though you miss a turn a suddenly wind up in Vermont!
New Jersey sucks, I’m sorry that you made a wrong turn (probably around 8th street I’m guessing) and wound up on the bad side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Although, Camden does have a great aquarium and arena for concerts…hopefully your next trip to the area will have a much better story involving the Delaware River…..
BBall v FBall
The football team didn’t like the fact the cagers had more wins than they did.
All tied up now!
Pretty simple recipe...
refs who are not looking to make headlines… no turnovers…. and NO DROPPED PASSES!!!!
Doug Hogue- 7 TKL, 4 SACKS
That is Art Jones against Notre Dame type dominance
With the heart of our defense missing
(A. Jones and D. Smith) this was simply an amazing performance by a D that has been playing really well lately. The offense finally caught up with them, and Marrone/Spense finally let their pairs drop and called a game like there was nothing to lose. Which, there really wasn’t.

What a great weekend....
for SU sports. Basketball looks great and football beats the STD capital of the world in Rutgers. I’m smiling about football and basketball together for the first time in months
by 'CuseConnection on Nov 21, 2009 7:19 PM EST reply actions
I will say it...
the best week of Syracuse Football/Basketball ever.
We have had good moments in each, but never together on consecutive days like this.
How often do you have meaningful basketball games in November? Rare. How often do you even have them during bowl season? Seldom. Beating ranked teams on consecutive nights on national TV, followed up by a great, unexpected football win. Awesome.
not just a great, unexpected win…. a great, unexpected win against a really cocky Rutgers team, that just a few months ago, was fully expecting an National Championship and an invite to the Big 10.
And although their win against USF was impressive, I think it’s safe to say that winning against inferior teams for 5 weeks doesn’t necessarily make you a better team.
Admit it
that Rutgirls kicker was faking it. She didn’t hurt her leg at all. Just an acting job.
no doubt. they should have assessed a 5-yd penalty for delay of game. Although, if this who place kicking thing doesn’t work out for him, that pirouette and the acting ability may land him a career in ballet….
I think he legitimately hurt himself...
in the process of flopping like a soccer player. Was it as bad as he made it seem? Probably not. But he did seem to tweak an ankle there a little bit. Though, no sympathy here…it was of his own making.
Kudos to Coaches Marrone, Shafer, and Spence
Tremendous thanks to the head man and coordinators for coaching absolutely balls-out in a game this team had to have. Their reward for flat-out dominating Rutgers (total yards – SU 423, RU 138) is turning open the faucet on the New Jersey recruiting pipeline.
By the way, I imagine that when Marrone and Dan Conley were talking to the team about what is what like playing Rutgers when they played at Syracuse, the message was something disturbingly close to, “We are Syracuse. We don’t effing lose to effing Rutgers.”
I want to wake up in a pool of Greg Schiano tears.

Northwestern Win
Looks even better now than it did when we won that game. NW is a quality team right now, who’d be threatening to break into the rankings if we hadn’t beaten them early in the season.
Without Gerry McNamara we wouldn't have won 10 f-- games, not 10

won a helmet sticker from the talking heads @ espn. Think that may have been the first a Syracuse player has won in a long time…
MWill and Paulus both got one for the Northwestern game
And Big Art got one for the Notre Dame game last year
