Fizz Film Study: How Will Teams Counter Syracuse’s Run Game?
Everyone in the ACC knows the strength of the Syracuse football team is the run game. Sean Tucker is a bonafide stud, named to almost every award watch list before the start of the 2022 season. The SU single-season rushing record holder is practically guaranteed to be an NFL Draft selection after this season. Syracuse…

Is Sean Tucker’s Video Game Grade Fair?
With the return of EA Sports’ college football video games set to return about a year from now, Rivals.com’s national recruiting director Adam Gorney has been ranking the ten most valuable players in each conference. One Syracuse player made the cut, one guess and you’ll probably get it. So with that in mind, what was…

What Needs to Break Right for SU to Make a Bowl?
Syracuse’s football opener is now less than a month away, and that means we’re now in the nitty-gritty of schedule gymnastics. How can SU sneak its way into a bowl? It’s certainly possible, but hinges on a few key factors. Last year, a similar article we wrote nailed some predictions for the ’21 squad. Ready…

What Can Sean Tucker Do to Improve His Draft Stock?
One would expect this to be Sean Tucker’s last season at Syracuse. Last year, he was SU’s most important player, setting the single-season rushing record. He led the NCAA in yards after contact. He was first team all-ACC and a Maxwell Award Finalist. Coming into 2022, everyone knows what to expect from the Orange’s junior…

The Three Position Groups That Will Dictate SU’s Success
Last week the Fizz took a look at three specific actions on the field that could lead to success in 2021. Now it’s time to break that down from a positional standpoint. Sure, the lists intersect in some aspects, but the lists are different in their own ways. With this in mind, Dino Babers needs…

The Genius Behind SU’s Prolific Running Game
A fresh rendition of Syracuse football is coming up quick folks! Fall camp gets underway in just a few days and from there it’s all downhill to SU’s season opener in the Dome against Louisville.

Sean Tucker Added To Prestigious Maxwell Award Watchlist
Compared to last year, it‚Äôs been a relatively quiet summer of Syracuse sports. Men‚Äôs basketball has yet to secure even one commit in the Class of 2023, and SU football hasn‚Äôt blown up the headlines with major moves of its own. Perhaps that‚Äôs to be expected, but we already know freshmen aren‚Äôt going to change…

Sean Tucker’s List Of Preseason Accolades, Hype Keeps On Growing
Syracuse Athletic Director John Wildhack just talked at length about the state of Syracuse football and the job security of head coach Dino Babers, and sounded typically non-alarmist in the face of rabid media members and fans. Wildhack maintains – predictably, but also laughably – that Babers is not on any kind of hot seat…

Who Could Break Out As The Top Receiver?
389 receiving yards. That was the total of Syracuse’s top receiver last season. That’s the lowest benchmark a player has needed to be the best receiver on the team since 2008. Yikes. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize SU has to be more dynamic in the passing game if it even wants to sniff…

Athlon’s Preseason All-Conference Teams Feature Plenty Of Orange
June is a big month for Syracuse football and men‚Äôs basketball recruiting alike. New recruits don‚Äôt necessarily change the compass readings for certain teams, but getting rosters closer to finalized means that predictions and previews can start coming out full force. SU football is certainly in that camp without any major Top 100 recruits, but…

Four Things For SU Football To Improve In 2022
As we venture towards the Summer, the flow of Syracuse sports news has slowed to a trickle. SU men‚Äôs hoops has been off for some time and doesn‚Äôt appear to be making any more big plays towards its 2022 recruiting class, and the men‚Äôs lacrosse team is a game away from ending a disappointing year.…

The Next ‘Big Thing’ for Syracuse Football
Sean Tucker is the running back room for Syracuse football. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But what if I told you that a transfer running back from some place called New Mexico State will make him even more dangerous in 2022. Does the name Juwaun Price ring a bell? Odds are it…

Looking Back at Our Pre-season Awards
Sometimes it can be fun to take an hour and scroll back through your old photos, old snapchat memories, or even old predictions. Other times, you could probably submit a whole novel to @Oldtakesexposed on Twitter. SU football is done for the season so let’s rewind back to mid-August when we dropped our pre-season player…

What Should Syracuse Prioritize? Rebuilding Or Winning With Sean Tucker?
After a 5th negative record in 6 years, fans are once again voicing displeasure with Dino Babers at the helm of Syracuse football. With 3 games left on the schedule, the Orange found themselves at 5-4, one win away from clinching Dino a second bowl berth. Though, as you know, things didn‚Äôt go as planned…

By The Numbers: How SU’s Season Ended Against Pitt, 31-14
Syracuse football‚Äôs 2021 season ended with a disappointing clang last night. The Orange were underdogs against a talented Pitt team and couldn‚Äôt keep up after holding an early 7-0 lead.

Syracuse Takes Down BC 21-6 in a Tale of Two Halves
Syracuse headed into the halftime break in an anemic state trailing 3-0. It was like the Rutgers game all over again. The offense was logging three-and-out after three-and-out and largely had no impact. SU‚Äôs only positive drive resulted in a (questionable) Garrett Shrader fumble at the five yard line. Everything changed in the second half. …

Syracuse Beats Virginia Tech In a 41-36 Thriller
After three consecutive one possession losses, Garrett Shrader played hero with a 45-yard touchdown pass to Damien Alford with 19 seconds remaining.

What’re the Odds the Mid-Season All-Americans are there at the End of the Year?
Don’t be fooled by the caveat. Even if Sean Tucker and Cody Roscoe are mid-season All-Americans, that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Only Alabama has more mid-season All-Americans (3) than Syracuse. Iowa and Georgia are the other two programs with multiple nods. While there is cause for celebration, it’ll be tough to convince Tucker of that.…

By The Numbers: How SU Let #19 Wake Forest Get Away
