What is Syracuse’s Future at Quarterback?

How Are People Feeling After Syracuse’s 4th Straight Loss?
Syracuse talked a big game coming off its bye week about how the team was healthier than it had been all season and that the final five games would be a clean slate after what had happened against Clemson, North Carolina, and Florida State.

Fizz Report Card: Florida State Trounces Syracuse 41-3
Once again, against a team in another tier than itself, Syracuse never put up a fight against No. 4 Florida State.

On another afternoon when Dino…

Is Syracuse Ready to Win a Game Like This, Again?
Before Syracuse went on the road and took down Purdue comfortably, I sat in front of my computer and pondered the question, was Syracuse ready to win a road game against a Big Ten team? The answer, resoundingly, was yes, the Orange could go on the road, in primetime, and get the job done against…

Garrett Shrader Can’t Survive This Offense

Takeaways From Two Days of Spring Practice
Getting to attend Syracuse Football practice over the past two days as well as the subsequent press conferences was a very insightful experience.

The Analytics Love Garrett Shrader
Garrett Shrader has, and has seemingly always had, a “yeah, but” included in every conversation about him since he became Syracuse’s starting quarterback. In 2021, it was he can run. Yeah, but he can’t throw. In 2022, it was he performed well against teams that were as good as or worse than Syracuse. Yeah, but…

What Does Carlos Del Rio-Wilson’s Future Look Like?
Now that Justin Lamson’s future likely does not involve him being in Central New York, Syracuse’s quarterback depth is in question. Carlos Del Rio-Wilson is at the forefront of that.

Losing Justin Lamson is a Major Blow
News every Syracuse fan knew was possible in the back of their head came to reality over the weekend when it was announced that Justin Lamson, potentially the best, and easily the quarterback with the most potential on Syracuse’s roster entered the transfer portal.

Could We See A QB Competition Leading Up To The Season?
If we go by Now You See Me‘s philosophy of “the closer you look, the less you see,” then there absolutely is a QB competition. But here’s the catch- the competition is for who sits at #2, #3, #4, and so on behind Garrett Shrader, who is slotted in as QB1 for the 2023 season…

Which Coach is Primed for More Success in 2023, Autry or Babers?
March 2023 has been one of the busiest months in a long time for Syracuse University Athletics.

Minnesota Drops Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl, 28-20
In an appropriate ending to its up-and-down 2022 season, Syracuse football (7-6, 4-4 ACC) saw a day’s worth of mistakes, a week’s worth of draft declarations, and a season’s worth of injuries add up to deny it a Pinstripe Bowl victory. Instead, Minnesota (9-4, 5-4 Big 10) played to its strengths and made just enough…

How Accurate Were Our SU Bowl Conditions?
Two days ago, Syracuse football finally learned of its bowl season destination.

SU’s 7-5 record is…

Stock Up, Stock Down: Florida State
We have reached a point where it’s extremely difficult to say anything positive about this football team. Last night was the season’s low point. Getting dominated in every facet by a more athletic, more physical more prepared team sometimes happens in the game of football. It shouldn’t happen three weeks in a row. Somehow, we’re…

The Downward Spiral Reaches Its Valley: Syracuse Crushed by No. 23 Florida State
On November 13, 2021, Syracuse was embarrassed by Louisville 41-3. Almost exactly a year later, we witnessed a very similar performance.
