To his credit, he also had a short slant that went the distance, but was called back due to a penalty.
Despite all that, he still showed off his impressive accuracy, quick release and above avg athleticism.
THAT is the truth.

The first safety was a jail break blitz with four defenders in the backfield from three directions almost immediately. Probably should have audibled a run right there, but I don't know if that's on the coach or him. But he wasn't getting away from that sack.
The second safety should have been a 15 yard personal foul on the Syracuse defensive lineman. Geno was moving to the left and had open space and a blocker in front of him. The Syracuse lineman intentionally leg whipped him and brought him down.
