Remember when 14 drives managed to be miserable last week? How about 16 drives this week? The wheels have fallen off for the Syracuse Orange offense at this point in the season. You think so, I think so, and plenty of others think so too. Still, we need a full season of data to look at how bad this thing craters out to. And by we, I mean I need a full season of data. Sorry.
