Following a historic win over Clemson and with a sold-out home game coming up, it’s a little discouraging to see the hopes and aspirations for the Syracuse football team somewhat modest at the moment. Obviously, the reason for that is the season-ending injury to quarterback Steve Angeli. But Angeli’s injury doesn’t mean the season is over or expectations have to change.
Rickie Collins is ready to step in for Angeli as Syracuse’s starting quarterback. Granted, Collins didn’t make the strongest first impression for Orange fans against Colgate two weeks ago. But it’s important to keep in mind that if Angeli hadn’t left Notre Dame in the spring transfer portal, Collins would have been the starter this season.
