Brent Axe breaks down Syracuse football's 31-18 loss at SMU on Saturday afternoon on SU football postgame presented by Crouse Health. 

Chris Carlson joins Brent live from Gerald J. Ford Stadium in Dallas to discuss the big question: Can Syracuse football ride out Rickie Collins' growing pains this season?

Collins struggled again in his second start, finishing 22-of-45 for 279 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. 

With the bye week coming up, will Luke Carney get an opportunity to work his way into first-team reps or will Fran Brown stick it out with Collins?

Brent and Chris also discuss Brown's 4th-down decision making against SMU and Chris gives a report about what was said in the locker room after the game, including what Brown didn't like from both of his coordinators against SMU.
