Problem is lack of talent at QB. Not bringing in a QB from the portal with some prior level of success was inexcusable. We hopefully get thru this rock fight with a win and hope spaghetti armed Vedral stays healthy during the B10 schedule.
But Simon has been been in the program with Gleason for three years. He should be able to do something.

Temple defense has gotten too many 3 and outs to wear down.

It is time to unleash the screen game, wheel routes included. Especially on 1st down. How many run blitzes in a loaded box does Gleeson need to see, to know his initial plan is not working well enough!

Vedral is needed
Been saying he's our best QB, when healthy, and that really does look to be the case now that we've seen a fair amount of the other two - and it's not that he'll always be better, but both Wimsatt and Simon are on the steep part of the learning curve. Maybe give Langan a series, including letting him throw.

Guys we were down 10-0 to Temple in 2012 while nationally ranked lol. I have a good feeling about the second half.

Watching Syracuse choke is easing the pain of this game.

I still think we win by a couple of scores, but it's not pretty.

Well the silver lining is that the O literally can’t play any F’ng worse and they’re still up at the half. If Gleeson can get even the slightest pulse maybe they escape with a W

Interesting exchange on the sideline between schiano and gleeson...looked like greg was reading him the riot act! Greg also had his face in his hand kinda like "what the f are you doing"
If this continues from this point on, we will have a new O coordinator.

The WORST part about all of this is that NO ONE on the team seems to care except Greg.

Sideline is dead.

Gleeson has his best derp face on, which for him is saying something.

Simon and Wimsatt both look like they’re trying to compete for the coveted blue or yellow play calling hat.

Why would a recruit want to join this team right now?

I think Schiano's plan is to just grind out a win even if it is by 3 points. RU doesn't really need to pass in this game, can wear Temple's defense out pounding the ball. The RU defense will prevent Temple from scoring anymore.

Can’t wear them out if you’re never on the field

For $4 million per year he needs to put a better product on the field than an offense that is crippled against almost every opponent. This kind of winning will never succeed against OSU UM PSU, etc. But the university should spend millions on it?
If instant gratification is what you’re looking for then you’re rooting for the wrong program.

This is going to take years.

$4 mill isn’t even that much for a P5 football coach.

The problem is that will never work against the Big Ten.

If we don't score at least another TD we are definitely going to let Temple score one and take the lead.

What cluster **** finish in Purdue at Syracuse. Purdue scores TD with 50 seconds to take 29-25 then commits two unsportsmanlike penalties on extra point. Kicks off from 10 yard line. Then commits defense holding and defense PI and Sarah scores TD. Laughable by Purdue.

EDIT then Purdue gets another unsportsmanlike on Sarah extra point.
