Offense: Devante McFarlane, (Redshirt) Junior RB
Devante McFarlane is listed as Syracuse's starting running back, however he did not play last week in the Orange's 47-0 win over Rhode Island. He was banged up from practice but was ready to go if the Orange needed him (they clearly did not). He is expected to play this Saturday against Wake Forest. McFarlane had the most rushing yards of any returning back for the Orange in 2014, though that was just 169 yards on 28 carries. Unfortunately, 114 of those yards came in Syracuse's 30-7 over Wake Forest.
