Campus is empty here in the 315 but the preparations for the 2022 season continue for Syracuse football. Of course the warm months also offer opportunities to allot more time and energy towards building the future of the program. Dino Babers and Company just hosted a camp last week which drew a lot of attendees to the Hill. SU is in a bit of a lull right now in terms of recruiting. The last [URL='https://247sports.com/college/syracuse/Season/2023-Football/Commits/']2023 prospect[/URL] to pledge Orange was Rashard Perry over two months ago!

This week, we’re previewing Syracuse’s matchup with FSU on Nov. 12 with their major storylines. Going into his third year as head coach of the Florida State Seminoles, Mike Norvell has a lot to prove. After a disappointing 3-6 campaign in 2020 could theoretically be waved off as the entire college football landscape was dealing with the logistical problems brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, Norvell’s Noles followed it up last year with a 5-7 campaign that saw uncharacteristic losses to lesser teams and several one-score loss margins. [B]CAN NORVELL TURN IT AROUND?[/B] The trouble began with a promising offensive performance lost in overtime to Notre Dame to begin the year, but losing to Dame is nothing to be embarrassed about. Dropping the next game 20-17 to FCS underdog Jacksonville State however, was a different story. They followed that performance with two more losses to start the year 0-4 before beating our Orange with a last second field goal to spark a mid-season turnaround. One game away from bowl contention, however, they lost to the in-state rival Florida Gators to end the year just short of bowl eligibility. Looking ahead to 2022, Norvell has the advantage of experience and the same offensive and defensive systems to give his players some stability and build on what worked last year. A look at the numbers show their best area on both sides of the ball was the run game- they were the 52nd ranked rushing offense in the country with 177.8 yards per game, and the 55th ranked rushing defense, giving up 144.6 ypg. I’d expect Norvell to try and build on both of those strengths as a foundation for success. » [URL='https://sujuiceonline.com/2022/06/09/opponent-analysis-pittsburgh-panthers-2022-syracuse-football-preview/']Related: Previewing Syracuse’s matchup with Pitt[/URL] [B]JORDAN TRAVIS NEEDS TO TAKE A STEP FORWARD[/B] If senior QB Jordan Travis can take a step up next year, it will raise the ceiling of the whole team, whether or not the struggling defense makes the same improvement. Travis was actually on the cusp of being great last year, as he’s another of the dual threat QB’s that we’ve profiled in the series so far. While his passing numbers through 10 games were rather pedestrian at 1,539 yards with 15 TDs and 6 interceptions, he added 530 yards and seven TDs on the ground. That brings his career rushing totals to 1,317 yards and 17 TDs, making him Florida State’s all-time leader from the QB position in both categories. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.yardbarker.com/general_sports/articles/saint_francis_transfer_yosuke_sugano_commits_to_syracuse_as_preferred_walk_on/s1_16577_37590710"]Saint Francis Transfer Yosuke Sugano Commits to Syracuse as Preferred Walk-On[/URL] (yardbacker.com; McAllister)[/B] PWO [I]Saint Francis University grad transfer linebacker Yosuke Sugano has committed to Syracuse as a graduate transfer. Sugano, who is originally from Japan, has two years of eligibility remaining, plans to arrive on campus July 5th and is listed at 5-10, 225 pounds. "The main reason why I chose Syracuse University is coach Tony White," Sugano said. "Talking to him, I thought I really like his personality and how he coaches. Also, he has coaching experience in Japan. I sent the email to coach White this January and he followed me on Twitter. Then, after a couple months, with coach White and coach Roy Wittke's help, I got accepted to Syracuse University's graduate program. Therefore, I am now committing to Syracuse's football program." During his time at Saint Francis, he redshirted in 2018, appeared in 12 games in 2019 and 11 games in 2021. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Sugano 22 tackles, seven tackles for loss, three sacks and forced a fumble during his career at Saint Francis. In high school, Sugano played for Kwansei Gakuin High School Fighters in Japan and helped lead them to the Japan National Championship in American Football. He then came to the United States to play for Greenville High School in Pennsylvania, where he contributed to a 9-3 record and AA playoff appearance. Sugano recorded 62 tackles, 46 solo, 12 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, two forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries and a pass breakup with Greenville.

Nebraska’s all-conference senior halfback rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns in the first half before letting his backups take over in the final 30 minutes. Presnell also proved adept with his kicking leg, befuddling the Orangemen with virtually unreturnable punts. Nebraska’s 10-yard advantage in net punting average helped keep Syracuse at bay. Harold Baysinger did most of the ball-slinging for the Orangemen, completing 11 of 28 passes for 120 yards, but seven were intercepted. (That ties Lynn Dickey’s seven picks in 1970 for a Memorial Stadium record.) Baysinger’s passes traveled as far as 70 yards in the air, according to newspaper accounts. Five of his interceptions occurred in the fourth quarter as the Orangemen tried again and again to get onto the scoreboard. His arm strength and perseverance earned him [URL='https://www.newspapers.com/clip/103540880/1927-nebraska-syracuse-thoughts/']an ovation[/URL] from Husker fans as he left the field at game’s end. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.nunesmagician.com/2022/6/14/23167154/get-to-know-your-orange-man-76-ol-kalan-ellis"]Get to Know Your Orange Man: #76, OL Kalan Ellis[/URL] (TNIAAM; Haller) [I]Name: [/I][/B][I]Kalan Ellis [B]Position:[/B] Offensive Line [B]Year: [/B]Freshman [B]Height: [/B]6’6” [B]Weight: [/B]388 lbs [B]Hometown: [/B]Waimanalo, Hawaii [B]High School: [/B]St. Louis School [B]2021 stats: [/B]Five starts, nine games as a true freshman.

But last season, it was Pitt and Wake fighting for the title, while Miami and NC State placed second in their respective divisions. Could we see a repeat of that this season? Kenny Pickett may be gone, but those other contenders all bring back their quarterbacks and field offenses that can keep this conference more open at the top. That doesn't mean Clemson is an afterthought, though. This is still the most talented roster in the conference from top to bottom, especially on defense. We'll see if this offense can improve with DJ Uiagalelei at quarterback and if Dabo Swinney and Co. have the speed at the skill positions to help him out. What can we expect in the ACC this season? Scroll through to see where each team in this league sits in the ESPN preseason football rankings. Where each ACC team stands in the preseason rankings [B]14. Duke Preseason ranking: [/B]No. 102 [B]Record prediction: [/B]4-8 [B]What to expect: [/B]More of the same from the Blue Devils after sitting in the ACC basement last year, David Cutcliffe's final outing on the sideline. Enter Mike Elko, a first-time head coach tasked with making something out of almost nothing. He needs a quarterback, a running back, and some quick fixes for a defense that placed last in the ACC. There's about a 9 percent chance to get to six wins here, which is all that can be said for this team in its current iteration. [B]13. Virginia Tech Preseason ranking: [/B]No. 74 [B]Record prediction: [/B]5-7 [B]What to expect: [/B]Watch how the quarterback competition shakes out this offseason between a pair of transfers in Grant Wells and Jason Brown. But whoever wins that job could sure use some help after Tech lost both leading receivers from 2021. Having seven returning starters defensively should ease this transition for a team that won just two ACC games at home last fall and got plastered by Maryland in the Pinstripe Bowl. FPI projects a 40 percent chance for the Hokies to get back to a bowl game, but this team isn't ready to make a push for the division just yet. [B]12. Georgia Tech Preseason ranking: [/B]No. 67 [B]Record prediction: [/B]4-8 [B]What to expect: [/B]Tech lost two offensive pieces in quarterback Jordan Yates, who transferred out, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who left for Alabama. Head coach Geoff Collins needs to give a jolt to an offense that placed third-worst in the ACC at 24 points per game. Jeff Sims returns at quarterback after passing for 12 TDs and seven picks, but there isn't a ton to work with around him moving the ball. Tech was also the second-worst defense in the conference last season, and the unit brings back just two projected starters this fall. [B]11.

The head coach only had one winning season out of six, and comes in under pressure to correct a record that includes just 15 wins in 50 ACC appearances. Syracuse fielded the league's fourth-worst total offense a year ago and mustered under 150 air yards per game, the ACC's worst mark. The best this Orange team has according to FPI is a 30 percent chance to finish bowl eligible.[/I] [HEADING=2][I]10. Boston College[/I][/HEADING] [I][B]Preseason ranking: [/B]No. 59 [B]Record prediction: [/B]6-6 [B]What to expect: [/B]BC gets some important inputs back on offense this season who can work the middle of the field, especially with quarterback Phil Jurkovec returning from injury. But this offensive line is a work in progress and the Eagles have to replace three starters in the secondary unit. This was a 6-6 team a year ago, but not even Jurkovec coming back was enough for FPI to predict any more than that this season, with a 53% chance to win six games and get to a bowl. 9. Virginia [B]Preseason ranking: [/B]No. 54 [B]Record prediction: [/B]7-5 [B]What to expect: [/B]First-year head coach Tony Elliott steps into a program with mixed results, a lot of potential, but also a ton of structural issues. He inherits an offense that ranked No. 3 in college football last season and gets quarterback Brennan Armstrong back behind center. But this offensive line needs to start from scratch and the Cavs need a new vision on defense after surrendering almost five TDs per game in ACC play and surrendered over 45 points in three of its six losses, including 59 to UNC and 66 to BYU.

Returning senior Thayer Thomas could take over that role, but Jones will factor into the equation as well after transferring from Maryland this offseason. A big-bodied outside receiver at 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Jones had his best season with the Terrapins last season, finishing with 23 catches for 319 yards and two touchdowns. That included four receptions for a season-high 111 yards against Virginia Tech in Maryland’s bowl game. [B]RB Michael Allen[/B] There’s also opportunity in N.C. State’s backfield now that Zonovan Knight and Ricky Person are no longer around. Knight and Person, who combined for nearly 1,400 rushing yards last season, are trying their hand at the NFL. With no back left on the roster that got more than 20 carries a season ago, Allen could slide in as a significant contributor immediately. The highest-ranked recruit in the Wolfpack’s signing class, Allen was a four-star prospect rated as No. 23 running back in the 2022 recruiting cycle in the 247Sports Composite. [B]LB Torren Wright[/B] Another four-star signee for the Wolfpack, Wright is N.C. State’s second-highest rated prospect in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

He also went through spring practice as an early enrollee, accelerating his development within the program. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.on3.com/news/dan-radakovich-opens-up-acc-revenue-concerns-comparison-other-conferences-jim-phillips-power-five-miami-athletic-director/"]Dan Radakovich opens up on ACC revenue, concerns in comparison to other conferences[/URL] (on3.com; Schultz)[/B] [I]The ACC had a record revenue year in fiscal year 2021.

In fiscal year 2021, the ACC [B][URL='https://www.on3.com/news/sec-acc-lead-way-power-5-revenue-gains-2021-fiscal-year-big-ten-pac-12/']brought in $578.3 million[/URL][/B], which was an $82 million increase from the previous fiscal year. But the SEC led the way with $833 million in revenue and the Big Ten was next at $679.8 million. On top of that, the Big Ten is reportedly [B][URL='https://www.on3.com/news/big-ten-conference-television-tv-media-deal-one-billion-rights/']on the verge of a massive media rights deal[/URL][/B] worth nearly $1 billion, which would likely increase that number even more. That was all part of the question to Radakovich on the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrIVEimkRPE']ESPN College Football[/URL] Podcast, and he shared an honest answer with hosts Adam Rittenberg and David Hale. “Yes, from an answer perspective. Yes. … We’re concerned,” Radakovich said. “It could be a threat. This is why we have commissioners and people in our home office in Greensboro, to be able to help work on that. The athletic directors talk about it all the time. ‘What can we do to help further our cause?’ There are contracts in place, there are rights agreements in place that are there and those contracts have been made. It’s going to be different. “But I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation to see how we can impact that and possibly change it because if you just take the soliloquy that you just mentioned, we’re going to be a little bit behind the eight-ball as it relates to dollars. How you make that up, that reverts back to each individual campus and decisions that are made on each one of our campuses.

Pry and new offensive coordinator Tyler Bowen brought in Brad Glenn as the new quarterbacks coach, and the Hokies added a pair of transfers with plenty of starting experience. Former South Carolina quarterback Jason Brown and former Marshall starter Grant Wells both transferred to Blacksburg. In addition, Connor Blumrick and Tahj Bullock were back. The Hokies also signed Devin Farrell. To alleviate some of the logjam at quarterback, the Hokies moved Blumrick into more of a utility role, where he’ll play some wide receiver and tight end. He could also still line up under center. Pry called him one of Virginia Tech’s 22 best players earlier this spring and wants him on the field. Fans saw Blumrick’s athletic potential last fall, but not necessarily as a quarterback. Now, that takes us back to Brown and Wells. Brown started four games for the Gamecocks last season, helping lead them to bowl eligibility. Before USC, Brown played at St. Francis, where he was an FCS All-American in 2019. Wells started most of the last two seasons under center for the Thundering Herd. As a freshman in 2020, he was the Conference USA Freshman of the Year. The pair alternated reps during the spring, with each starting in the spring game. Wells was terrific in the spring game, while Brown struggled. To be fair, Wells played with more of Virginia Tech’s starting players. However, it was clear his arm talent was hard to deny. In addition, Wells showed he can when necessary, too. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://accfootballrx.blogspot.com/2022/06/heard-in-passing-at-b1g-media.html"]Heard in passing at B1G Media negotiations 2022 June[/URL] (RX; HM)[/B] [HEADING=2][I]Heard in passing at B1G Media negotiations 2022 June[/I][/HEADING] [I]From [URL='https://theathletic.com/3363313/2022/06/14/big-ten-tv-deal-faq/']an article on Tuesday's Athletic[/URL] about Big Ten media rights negotiations, this little tidbit was dropped: "according to one league source, ESPN officials have made it clear the network is [B]all-in with the SEC [I]and [/I]ACC[/B]".
