Better Execution, Continued Talent Upgrade Needed for SU Football (sujuiceonline.com; Bierman)
Following a game effort against a better opponent in last weekend’s 31-15 setback to now-No. 8/9 Notre Dame in the program-branding boosting, big time live atmosphere of MetLife Stadium, and the national TV spotlight of the ABC primetime broadcast, there was a common theme among the Orange players over the frustration of not being able to take advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves during the evening in the bid to upset a Top Ten team.
“Notre Dame was really disciplined in what they were doing,” said running back Prince-Tyson Gulley after the loss dropped SU to 2-2, and who’s so far averaging 70 yards a game rushing in his final year of eligibility. “After these first four games I know that we can compete with anybody, I will tell you that.

Spencer Tears, One of the Top RBs in Northern Illinois, Has Syracuse in His Top Three (chicagotribune.com; Narang)
...
Tears combines the moves and speed of a much smaller player packed into a 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame. He said he was clocked at 4.46 in the 40-yard dash in the summer.
"Spencer is very tall and lanky and very athletic," Sheehan said. "He has good ball skills."
Ranked No. 15 in the state of Illinois for the Class of 2015 by 247Sports.com, Tears received an offer from Syracuse earlier this month to run his total to 11 offers, which include Louisville, Indiana, Nebraska, Purdue and Bowling Green. Tears orally committed to Nebraska in April at the Red-White spring game but decommitted.
Tears has 11 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns this season and said he is leaning toward Louisville, Syracuse or Bowling Green.
