The Key To SU’s Offensive Success
Over the past few years, Syracuse’s offense has been dynamic. Garrett Shrader’s elusiveness gave the Orange the ability to strike from the air, on the ground with a star running back or with QB1 scrambling. That took a lot of the pressure off the receiving corps. This year, with Kyle McCord under center that won’t be the case. He isn’t just not mobile, McCord isn’t even close to a threat to run. Remember, sacks do count as rushing yards in college football, but still, he ended with negative yards last season.

Syracuse’s QB Room Gets More Interesting With New Face
There’s no debating who will be under center for SU’s first matchup of the year on August 31st against Ohio, that will be Ohio State transfer Kyle McCord barring injury. Behind him though, things get a lot more interesting for who will be the second guy called off the bench if needed. Last season, it was Carlos Del Rio-Wilson, who when called upon didn’t give Orange fans any hope for the future. But a new face has entered the room who can compete for that spot. That being, Florida Atlantic transfer Michael Johnson Jr.
