Syracuse Orangemen O:6 D:4 For the Syracuse Orange, things will definitely get better, because they sure can't get any worse. Head Coach Greg Robinson's first season was a disaster finishing with a 1-10 record that is the worst since 1948, and the first 10 game loss season that is the worst in school history. The offense was the worst in the Big East with 73 total points scored. Coach Robinson brought in Brian White to help this squad out, but the offensive line will need to learn how to block someone. The offensive line gave up 37 sacks last season and doesn't look to have improved any for this season. The wide receiving and running back units look promising but again the offensive line must improve for them to be effective and better their 14 points per game of last year.
Bet Syracuse here. The defense is only bringing back 4 starters but they Coach Robinson things they have enough athleticism to carry them through. Everyone in the special teams unit is coming back and this is a huge bonus for the coaching staff who will try to utilize the field position game this season. Look for some major improvements this year, especially in the offensive unit. They Syracuse Orange will get better, but they are no where near becoming a major player in the Big East again. |
