Unpopular opinion here, and posters will give me the “disagree” or thumbs down icon without any refute, but I’m of the belief he should have got all of Jordan Lyle’s touches in the 2nd qtr and some of Fletchers. Maybe we don’t lose the Syracuse game?

He got hurt

Well, here’s his chance to get on the field for some meaningful work, so the coaches can see what he can do at this level. Hoping he makes the most of this opportunity.

Yep, was getting like 9 yards a tote…knowing how trash the D had been all year, Mario should have played bro ball the rest of the game instead of trying to win Cam the heisman smhhh.
