[NU Sports] Syracuse Shake-up

[Roy Lamberton]

I guess they're mostly backups but you are right, they usually don't have as
many kids leave this early.

NU had a lot of Seniors leave after GB had the Rose Bowl season. He had
recruited all those great (on paper) linemen, and they forced out several
kids who would have been 5th year seniors.

When Walker finally did come in a few years later, there just wasn't any
depth because everyone had to play early. 

Not sure what that means for our game with them in the 3rd week, but if they
are hurting up front, our guys should have a fun time in the trenches. Right
now they don't have any backups at guard.

It appears at least 17 players have left the Syracuse football team (or been
pushed by the new coach).?

I've seen some of this with coaching changes, but seem to recall that it
tended to be fewer.? This could mean a) a very thin team, or perhaps b) a
number of mercenaries (juco transfers) brought in.

In any event, this kind of churn, added to the installation of new schemes,
etc, should be a positive note for our game against the Orange.

As stated before, 4-0 vs Miami, Towson, Syracuse and EMU is essential.
