Syracuse’s Most Important Players: #2 Tommy DeVito
Well, we wondered all summer long whether Tommy DeVito would be the week 1 starter for Syracuse. He will be. SU released its depth chart recently, listing DeVito as the team‚Äôs number one.

Hit or Miss? Revisiting the 2016 Class – Pt. 1
Sometimes it‚Äôs fun to look back at past recruiting classes to see how each player panned out. Did the top recruits live up to that billing? Were there some surprises? Who was underrated/overrated?

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 Up, Stock Down: Wake Forest
Basketball season is almost here. Unfortunately, by almost here, I mean three weeks away. That means the Syracuse faithful are subject to watching the Orange play another week of terrible football. Last Saturday‚Äôs result? A 38-14 drubbing at the hands of Wake Forest. It‚Äôs getting more and more difficult each week to pick out the…

Stock Up, Stock Down: Clemson
After not one, but two train wrecks in back-to-back weeks, Syracuse‚Äôs stocks looked to be stuck in a bear market.

Evaluating the Back Half of SU’s Schedule
Saturday‚Äôs loss marked the halfway point (more or less) of the 2020 Syracuse football season. Through six games there have been some highs, but many more lows.

Pure Embarrassment: Syracuse loses to Liberty 38-21
Yep. You heard that right. Liberty, a team that‚Äôs three years removed from even joining the Football Bowl Subdivision embarrassed Syracuse.

Is it Really Tommy DeVito’s Fault?
There‚Äôs a lot of blame to go around the Syracuse offense right now, and Tommy DeVito is facing a lot of backlash two games in. Some Syracuse fans are even calling for Rex Culpepper to take his job.

Stock Up, Stock Down: Week 2
Syracuse‚Äôs loss to 25th-ranked Pitt last Saturday was an exact copy of their clunker of a performance against UNC. And just like last week, the Fizz is bullish on a couple of players, and has a couple others whose stock dropped in the 21-10 defeat. Stock Up: Mikel Jones (again): Jones is playing at an…

Who’s Backing Up Tommy DeVito?
The most important player in football is the guy taking snaps under center. The second most important? Well it could become the backup quarterback if the starter lands the wrong way. After Chance Amie declared his intent to transfer, there‚Äôs been uncertainty about who will be second in line, in case DeVito goes down. So,…
