When the Syracuse Orange announced the hiring of Robert Anae as offensive coordinator some of the immediate response from Virginia Cavaliers fans was to warn us about his penchant for trick plays.
Fresh in their minds was this play from Virginia’s game against the Virginia Tech Hokies last season.
A different variation on long-time Syracuse staple, the tight end throwback, but the result wasn’t McNabb to Brominski and obviously not what the Cavaliers hoped. Since it was late in a loss to their in-state rival the play call was widely criticized.
