(Ed. Note: My fault this didn’t get posted last week but we want to finish the series and do a year-long recap)
The Syracuse Orange football team couldn’t clinch a bowl game when they lost to Georgia Tech 31-22 last Saturday. Dan Villari and the “Thundercat” offense impressed at times but struggled to move the chains on third-and-long. After a great week in the Bronx, the Syracuse defense returned to performing poorly on third and short. Likewise, the last third down and red zone report under Dino Babers sums up a lackluster back half of the season.
