How Did SU Go 1-10 With This Much Pro Talent?
To say Syracuse football‚Äôs 2020 season was a disappointment would be an understatement. It was an 11-week odyssey in futility and frustration. SU‚Äôs 1-10 record was its worst since the 2005 Greg Robinson debacle and just the second one-win season since 1948. However, that didn‚Äôt stop the Orange from producing some pro prospects. Three members…

Taj Harris: A Bright Spot in a Dark Season
I just want to start by acknowledging that 2020 has understandably been a rough year for a lot of people ‚Äì and for several reasons to-boot. Certainly, this sentiment can be applied to the players, coaches, trainers and all else involved with Syracuse Football, at the moment. The Orange is currently 1-7, in what has truly been…

Stock Down: Syracuse
This isn‚Äôt a requiem for the 2020 Syracuse football season. It‚Äôs supposed to be the weekly installment of Stock Up, Stock Down, but SU‚Äôs assets are currently tanking. It‚Äôs extremely difficult to point out the bright spots from a 38-24 loss to a previously winless Duke team. Offensively, Syracuse looked good for a couple of…

Fizz Film Review: Run Defense Analysis
Lakeim Williams, you are dearly missed. For the first three games of the season Defensive Coordinator Tony White had his unit clicking on all cylinders.

Last Saturday, the fallacy that the scheme could not stop the run or pressure the…
