Had this game and shat it away. Blocked punt TD. INT then TD drive.Struggling to score a tying TD. Pitt better hammer this trash team.
 
The embarrassment was UNLV not calling timeout when Syracuse had 1st and goal with just under a minute left. They could have gotten the ball back with like 45 seconds left. Their QB really impressed me and likely would have came down and won it.
 
Michigan State with the unlikely backdoor cover won me my Syracuse moneyline/MSU +23.5 parlay. But, man... I feel bad for UNLV. Both of these teams look like they would play Pitt to a high-scoring coin flip.
 
That roughing call is criminal.
That type of hit has been roughing to passer in NCAA football for a long time ... It's been 20 years since I played but even back then, I got flagged for RTP for that exact same hit, on the exact same type of play (screen pass). The ref told me the hit wasn't late. It was excessive because I hit him with my head -- and this was pre-targeting being a penalty, there weren't any rules on the books about "crown of the helmet" or "head or neck" area.

Yeah, the dude lowered his head and drove it into the QB's chest. That's going to get called roughing the passer all day long. The defender is just lucky he didn't hit him a few inches higher, or the targeting foul would have been upheld and he would have gotten thrown out of the game.
 
syracuse just beat a top 25 team. WHy are they an embarrassment?

you guys really need to stop posting during games, they never age well. i've been guilty of this myself, i will admit
I admit, you got me there. Was just watching them meltdown late in the game. They have actually been pretty good relative to recent Syracuse teams.
