Back to Fizzness
The Fizz is unsure why Malik Burks from Baldwinsville doesn’t seem to be getting a ton of attention. The kid is sick, to say the least.
-
Retreat to the Secondary
The Orange is ranked 116th in pass defense in the FBS. Rice, Nevada, UAB and Washington State are the only teams that rank worse than the ‘Cuse.
-
Chill, Son
This team scored 41 points for the first time since ’06. And a halftime deficit was unacceptable for a team that hasn’t had a blowout in years?

Tuck in Your Shirt, Dom!
We can only assume that Dom Timbers was not among those persecuted for their belief in wearing a polo without looking like a nerd.
-
The Invisible Hands
Marrone says “Don’t confuse effort with results.” If you’re not getting looks from big time schools, Syracuse might be a place for you.

When a Loss is a Win
This edition of the SU offense is not fair to the Orange defense. The ‘Cuse missed out on at least 10 points in that ball game.
-
Heading to Happy Valley
There are a few things around the PSU campus that may give the Orange a slight edge in this weekend’s game.

Wild Otto Offense

Fizz Preview: The Opener

Things Have Already Changed
For Marrone, football is his life and this team is truly his. There are specifics that back it up:
-
Oh Captain, Where Art Thou?
He’s a first-year recruit of Doug Marrone and still hasn’t played a down of real football. It begs the question: Can a mercenary be a team leader?
-
Is the Fizz Burning its Own School?
It brought up an interesting philosophical question: How do we cover Syracuse athletics here at The Fizz? First, the emailer is correct. Kinda.
-
Meet the New Guy

Got Goggles?
The media guide is like staring into the center of the sun. Orange on top of orange, with some brighter orange thrown in for good measure.

From Somebody to Nobody
Yesterday at practice Cam Dantley stood at the far end of the players field. He looked, well, disinterested.
-
Something Fishy
Marrone went with his usual approach to Raupers, but you could see that there was something amiss about this departure.
-
Paulus… Go.
Fortunately enough, the shortened time for media access was enough to be a dead giveaway that Greg Paulus would be the starting quarterback.
-
Linebacker Community College
If Penn State is Linebacker U., Syracuse is Linebacker Community College right now.
-
Back to School
Didn’t we already do this whole media day thing in Rhode Island? Well, yeah, but that was the Big East Media Day. This is SU media day. Big difference.

Simmons-Gate and Sunday Brunch
The Fizz has learned Nottingham (NY) quarterback Jawan Simmons has still not been offered by Syracuse.

Empires, Gardens and Governors
Perhaps most importantly with this game, the SU coaching staff gets a chance to schmooze with the players’ high school coaches.
-
Hometown Hero
Jawan Simmons’ credentials read like Todd McShay’s wet dream: 6′ 3″, 190-lbs, 4.6 second 40-yard dash.
-
A Bronx Tale
So Notre Dame, Army, Boston College and Rutgers are in linebefore the Orange for a date in the Bronx? Argh.
