Well, honestly, you are both right. We missed quite a few tackles,and several would have been tfl, and kudos to the QBs at Gtech and Syracuse, they were pretty gifted at getting away from hits.
And, also, I think Syracuse really schemed quick hitters to nullify the blitzes then when we stopped blitzing they threw downfield more.
I think UNC does the exact same thing, and we get nickled and dimed with quick passes and read options to nullify our blitz then they try to open it up
