Long will sit this year out. Our Kellie Cowan talked with A.J. Long tonight, and the sophomore-to-be tells her he will redshirt for the upcoming football season. The move, certainly makes sense from an observatory standpoint, this is Terrel Hunt's team here in his final season and Long would presumably just be losing another year of eligibility. Of course, if the injury bug bites Syracuse again, Long could break the redshirt and play again. It's as simple as subbing him in the game. The current plan though, if Hunt remains healthy, allows Long to grow and mature while coming back in 2016 with three years to play for Syracuse.[/I] [I]The Spring Game at SU is on April 4.

(BR; Pedersen)[/URL][/B] (They Think the Lowly B1G Would Beat the ACC) [I]The debate over which college football conference is best is one that has dominated message boards, sports radio and talking-head shows for years, and it seems to be one that will never reach a firm resolution. But that's because they've been doing it all wrong. Instead of comparing leagues based on the strengths (and weaknesses) of their teams, why not rate them according to their best players? This is the offseason, when us college football junkies get so loopy because of gridiron withdrawal that any discussion that puts the sport back in focus is worthwhile. That makes it the perfect time to kick around what would happen if each Power Five conference (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC) put together an all-star team and met on the field to decide who was truly the best. SIDE NOTE: If something like this were to ever come about—and with college football moving more and more toward a pay-to-play sport, it's not impossible—it would no doubt bring in huge ratings and be well-attended. It would also be the closest thing college's top players would get to being in the pros before actually suiting up for the NFL, making such an event like a warm-up for the next step in their careers. For now, though, we're sticking to hypotheticals and putting the focus on what's most important: Who would win if all five power conferences fielded an all-star team and they battled it out in a playoff? Click through to see how we'd make this happen and who would come out on top. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
