Garrett Shrader Can’t Survive This Offense
Garrett Shrader did what he needed to do for Syracuse to win on Saturday. That’s the biggest headline that came out of SU’s road win over Purdue, only Dino Babers’ 7th in 32 tries on the road against power five opponents as the Orange’s head coach. With Oronde Gadsden out for the season with a…

Who Should Replace Oronde Gadsden?
With Oronde Gadsden out for the season, Syracuse’s offense is in a pickle. The tight end picked up just shy of 1,000 receiving yards last year, but no other Orange pass catcher even broke the 500-yard plane. That means SU has to develop a new top option for Garrett Shrader. There are plenty of options,…

What to Expect From Oronde Gadsden’s Supporting Cast
There aren’t many certainties when it comes to a largely overhauled Syracuse roster heading into the fall, but one of them is that Oronde Gadsden is the number one pass catching option. Gadsden had nearly 1,000 yards last year, nobody else even reached 500. Gadsden will surely be the top option again, and, if spring…

What Should We Expect From Damien Alford This Season?
Damien Alford’s journey since he got to Syracuse has been a fascinating one. The Canadian has shown flashes of being a number-1 receiver at the collegiate level with his deep ball prowess, but there have been instances where he just disappears or is not noticeable on the field. Earlier this offseason, we thought his time…

Syracuse Spring Game Takeaways, Booth Edition
Calling Syracuse’s spring game for WAER was certainly interesting. The format was bizarre, with tackling at some points and two-hand-touch at others. It wasn’t really a football game, more of a practice with an extended 11-on-11 session. That means it’s hard to really gauge the team’s strengths and weaknesses. Obviously, we’ll find out for sure…
