If you watched the Syracuse Orange football team play you won’t be surprised by what we detail in this week’s piece. Syracuse stumbled out of the gate and never got going outside of the weekly dose of Sean Tucker excellence.
I’ve said it a lot this season but Syracuse coming out looking to go deep on the first play is a smart call. When you play-action with Tucker you are going to get the linebackers and safeties to bite. Without an All-22 view it’s hard to see if anything was open right away but pressure forced Garrett Shrader to tuck the ball and fight to get a minimal gain.
