They play a 3-3-5. Previous DC was Bryan Nardo, who's now the DC at Oklahoma State. Current DC runs the same scheme. So this is a 3-3-5 DE with experience.

So are Oscar Adaway, Isaiah Johnson, Christian Lee, Nick Nakwassah, and Kaghen Roach hitting the portal? I think they are all listed as juniors on the roster.
I'm guessing most will be graduates or graduate transfers. Almost all of them started school in 2019-2020 (just not necessarily here).

Syracuse is in next to last place in the ACC
Not because of their defense.

I was one of the few people high on Odom during the mid-to-late season coaching carousel debates. I do suffer from the general belief that defense is harder to find than offense is right now.

The issue is most people can't tell what they are actually running just by watching. Much of the scheme involves changes in gap assignments so you can't tell who busted just by watching. You also can't tell when someone in the box goes and does their own thing trying to maker a play and leaves their assignment which is the reason why some of the long runs have happened. The last two weeks you have seen teams putting hat on hat because we have been out numbered in the box when they have a H back in the wing on inserted on the line (6 blocking 5). The issue is getting spread out with minimal numbers in the box. This is why a safety has been the leading tackler the last few weeks. Its by design to fill gaps and spill to the outside. The alignment against Memphis was supposed to have a high safety covering the middle but he bolted to the under cross route and let his spot open. We were man across with extra safety and it busted. The late Tulane score looked like a blitz and 19 got shielded by the back and we were man in the back end so there was no response. It was a gamble when we just needed to play straight up on 3rd and 12. It looks like we have gambled less the last few weeks and have been better against the run. The defense was out there too long vs SMU since the offense had issues in the 3rd. This week, the QB made throws early and then started feeling more pressure in the 2nd half as we had more edge pressures on 3rd down. You can tell when a LB walks up off the edge. The new young safeties have had a lot of responsibility. The biggest issue has been that we need a 2 gap nose guard to eliminate the head up blocking. They need to draw a double team everytime or be able to beat the center and get in the backfield. When 10 has done that it has been successful.
Yes. I think a lot of it actually comes down to experience and football smarts. The ONE thing I've been harping on is that 2-gap nose. At least for early downs. It also might allow us to push some of our other guys to the outside and give them a better chance at collapsing the tackles.

Not to put a negative Twist on it but in the world of the transfer portal if you have a true freshman who should be on the field is it worth registering them?
I'm not as negative about the Portal as most, but I agree. Given the fluidity of player movement in college football, you just always need to be putting your best guys out there to get you the win. If that's a True Freshman, so be it.
No need for sandbagging. It's not like we're playing for draft position.

These freaking refs...

Official Review: "Too much space between the receiver and defensive back. 15-yd penalty and loss of down."

I don't even get excited for the TD until they review it. Refs will be like "I don't like how his cleats are tied. Incomplete!"

I would honestly run that draw on every 3rd down if they are gonna keep running outside blitzes.
Oh damn, am I DD?

UGH... shoulda been 6. A little underthrown, but still...

Just hoping that our guys start attacking with some confidence on defense.

Good thing Tulsa also stinks.
Great plays by Richards and Texada.

You are right. The good news is Tulsa is trying to throw more than they need to. All they have to do is run. Both coaches are doing what they shouldn't at times.
Throw... run... it all works against this D.

When in doubt, just run the ball on us.

Well, looking back at their football record over the past several years, if that defense is what they have been running call me unimpressed with a 3-man front.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/syracuse/index.html
They've had a top 50 defense while playing in the ACC.
Since Tony White came on in 2020, they went from 90 to 65 to 41 to 46. That was as they went from a multiple 4-man front to the 3-3-5.

I unlike many apparently have not concluded Morris was a bad hire. He was a risky hire, but I am not unhappy with the progress he/NT made after a horrible start. Caponi, may need to go or may be a victim of just not having enough real D1 talent to compete.
I was meh on Morris to begin with and nothing has changed in my assessment so far. I mean, I LIKE him more than Seth, but still in a "wait-and-see" mode.

I'm personally of the opinion you ALWAYS need one big-ass NT to at least sub in for some early downs, but just glancing at Syracuse, they seem to have similarly tiny linemen. But they've also been running that system for a while, under Tony White (who learned under Rocky Long) and now from Long himself. So they probably have the system down pretty well.

Mississippi State just fired their HC, who also happened to be their previous DC the past 3 seasons. This was his first time being HC, and he worked under Leach. Maybe the Leach connection and the no job thing may entice him to catch on as a DC. P5 coach who has actual, real experience as a DC.
Not only that, Arnett learned the 3-3-5 directly from Rocky Long when he was on his staff at SD State.
That said, I think Arnett will get another P5 DC offer after this year.

Should Caponi get another year?

Yeah, a TD a game is actually a pretty big difference. But I'm not crying about the defense right now. Season is over. We'll see what we get as far as players and coaching in 2024.
