Syracuse, N.Y. -- With the NCAA passing new redshirt legislature this summer, allowing players to participate in up to four games without using one of their four seasons of eligibility, we'll be keeping a closer eye on how Syracuse football utilizes its first-year players during the 2018 season.
As the year progresses, it will be worth monitoring non-freshmen who could make use of the rule as well.
During the Orange's 27-23 loss at No. 3 Clemson on Saturday, five true freshmen played -- including three who appeared in their fifth game, eliminating the possibility of a redshirt.
