Not with this style of play: four yellow cards (two to one player resulting in game ejection) and one red card (ejected from this game and the next). VT has 22 yellow cards and one red card through nine games - six of them non-conference games which VT won in total 161 - 32 goals. Eleven of VT's 22 yellow cards occurred in those six games - again which they won by a combined margin of 161-32. Syracuse has played eight games this year and has 11 yellow cards - three of those games were against top 20 (actually top 12) opponents. Cards are a result of coaching - not individuals choosing to play in a physical manner that goes beyond what the game allows.
Young players, parents and club coaches saw a product on the field today that does not bode well for recruiting. Syracuse won the game and the recruiting prize today.
