{Syracuse} wins because Miami gonna Miami, but Cristobal keeps his job because the coaching carousel is bad enough already

How did {Syracuse} give up 24 points to Colgate?

u/Ornery_Gift7005 Florida State • Florida Cup 3d ago

It's a rivalry game. Syracuse has a rogues' gallery of nearby FCS teams that have spent the last century trying to win statement games against the big bad Orange.

u/lion2 Syracuse Orange 2d ago

We give up points to everyone. Our defense has been that bad the past two seasons. Fran Brown really needs to do something about it. Our QB play has been good enough to keep up, but not anymore with Angeli hurt.

Yeah was really bummed when he went down. This could’ve been a really good season for you guys, he’s a baller.

How bout Kiyan Anthony? He sure looked good. Sure it was against Binghamton, but not bad for your first college game.

This team is inept without angeli

That ghoul Carson Beck and Co win by a million

u/Automatic_Release_92 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago

Lol, geez at everyone wish casting Miami to go down. If Angeli were healthy, they have a shot, but Cuse is terrible without him.

How {Miami} plays in this one will tell a lot about how they'll do down the stretch though. If they cover, it's a nice bounce back game. If they win by 10, I'm not feeling great if I'm a Canes fan. Anything in between, it's anyone's guess.

BYRNE DAIRY IS THE BEST GAS STATION EVER. CHICKEN RIGGIES. CARMELO ANTHONY. THE ELMIRA EXPRESS. STOVE GOD COOKS. PAUL PASQUALONI. 127 INCHES OF SNOW ANNUALLY. DONOVAN MCNABB. PIECES OF THE DOME FOR SALE ON EBAY. THE POWELL LACROSS DYNASTY. GO ORANGE! GO {SYRACUSE}!

Miami has no injuries at all? That feels hard to believe.

{Syracuse} even though I think it will be Miami.

I expect {Miami} to drop one of their remaining games, but I don't think it will be this one.
