Losing Focus


Syracuse Orange (2-2) at West Virginia Mountaineers (2-1)

After everything that went down with Melyssa, I basically went into hiding for the rest of the week. Yeah, I still went to practices and such, but after my classes and other required activities, I went right back to my apartment. The whole situation left me with no motivation to go down to Morgantown and play our biggest rival; West Virginia. Plus, the memories of last year's game haunted me while I slept all week and the moments following it just made it worse.

Right away, West Virginia proved to be the better team. Noel Devine started to carve our defense up and with 15 carries in the first half, he already was over 125 yards. Down 24-7, we needed a spark or some sort of speech to motivate us and as a captain, it was my job to be the emotional leader and deliver that speech. However, it never came; I just couldn't focus.

The stats say I did well, but when you look at the tape, you'll see countless drops and multiple times where I've gotten blown up while attempting to block.

When the horn sounded, Morgantown celebrated another win over their rival and I walked off the field without a care. I needed something...someone to get me out of this slump.

Sounds like Woy needs a happy ending. Call the nearest massage parlor! It's a Syracuse sports emergency!

Anyway, he did well, as usual, but the team, as usual, didn't.

Tough loss. Great statline, no matter how many drops

Going to get an update in tonight. After this weekend, I will be focusing on this a lot more and hope to get into my junior season in a few weeks.

[Fox1994]

Cool.

Getting Back on Track


Connecticut Huskies (4-0) at Syracuse Orange (2-3)

My mind again was elsewhere as Melyssa continued to ignore my phone calls throughout the week. I didn't show any motivation throughout practice, slacked off during lifting and surprisingly wasn't questioned by my coaches; maybe because I was really the only offensive threat we had.

We came into this game as the underdogs, as Connecticut was off to a 4-0 start and on the brisk of breaking into the Top 25. However, Ryan came out on target and we marched down the field for a touchdown on our opening drive.

Connecticut struck back with a score of their own, but then we did a very uncharacteristic thing out of our new offense; we started running the ball. Doug got carry after carry and after 20 of them, he racked up 176 yards and three touchdowns. I was a factor in the offense, getting multiple first downs, but never was a threat inside the red zone.

Although I still felt empty inside, it was nice to upset a solid squad and get back on track.

Please thank Justo for the amazing new player card. It's MUCH better than the ugly shitty one I did out of paint.

Actually to let you guys in on something, the next few updates will still be games cause the next big moment in the story doesn't happen for a while.
