One step up and two steps back

"We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story that's a fact
One step up and two steps back"

~ Bruce Springsteen, "One Step Up"

What better way to describe the last week in Syracuse football.

Final score Syracuse fans: Hawks of Red-17, Men of Orange-14.

The highs:

• the goaline stand
• Max Suter continuing to shine on kickoffs (and he'll be getting a lot of practice this year)
• we're still in first place in the Big East

The lows:

• 66 yards rushing
• 3rd and 1 at the 50...FIND A WAY TO GET THAT YARD
• penalites
• here comes a ticked-off WVU
• that ONN coverage was like watching a Time Warner 26 high school game
