Cubs 3, Phillies 2 - seriously?

Syracuse punter Greg Long kicks the free kick out of bounce. That's a 30-yard advance, and amazing field position for NU at their own 50.

Pam Ward is calling a baseball game, with the dumbest graphic of the 2008 season - a comparison box to the Cubs-Phillies game yesterday. In fact, I've eaten three bowls of cereal, and my dad's only eaten two. They could've used that as well.

After a pair of carries by Omar Conteh and Sutton for 7 yards, NU has a 4th and 3 from the 'Cuse 40. Fitzgerald takes no chances - and Demos delivers another solid punt. Syracuse is pinned at their own 8-yard-line.

Thoughts: To punt in that situation, it is obvious that Fitz is more confident in the defense this season.
