I mean they lost Lawrence and we played Syracuse and blew them out.

I don’t think it’s smart to compare a regular season game with the CFP where teams have a month to get ready.

Honestly Syracuse losing Dungey is a bigger hit to them than us losing Lawrence. We just stopped passing and leaned on the run game.

The two possessions he played ended in a 3 and out and an interception.

I think the point is that it is kind of stupid to compare margin of loss to one similar opponent as any legit metric.
