Syracuse football: early schedule will allow LeQuint Allen time to get in sync

Syracuse Orange players, coaches and fans got good news when LeQuint Allen’s settlement was announced.

With Allen scheduled to return in mid-August, he’s going to miss the beginning of Syracuse’s fall camp. Dino Babers can afford to give him time to get back up to game speed. The Orange open the 2023 season at home against Colgate and Western Michigan and Allen should be the starter at running back. That doesn’t mean Syracuse needs to give him a normal workload, but he’ll need to develop the timing and chemistry with Garrett Shrader and the offensive line.
