[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 82774"] Yes i am aware that syracuse has lost a fair few on the trot, but to dismantle a team you must load up on yardage and points. that didn't happen. In fact it's the exact opposite. Iowa shut them down and if it weren't for the offensive futility they would have run away with the game. This isn't the NFL, one player can beat any team in the nation, provided they bring something significant to the team. In Tate's case he brings stability and balance. Without him they don't have a passing game. And if there is no threat of a pass then the opposition can key on the run and the team then becomes one dimensional. Without Tate they brought in a guy who is unfamiliar with the 1st team offence and is nothing more than a decent college backup. The same thing would happen if you take Troy Smith out of the OSU lineup. Sure Zwick is decent but he's not stellar. Just look to last year against Texas, he choked and was brutal. Would you trust him with the game on his shoulders? Hell no and so you turn to the running game and trick plays. I know for a fact that Antonio Pittman can't carry the load by himself without help from the passing game. He's just decent. Which would allow teams to pretty much shut down the run and shut down the pass. What i'm getting at is that one player may not beat a team but the domino effect he has on a game can. [/QUOTE]
