Former Syracuse Players Round Up

The one that sticks out to me is Denaburg. Do we even have a kicker who can make a kick over 25 yds?

This is kind of funny considering Denaburg got benched here essentially for missing a 25-yard field goal. He literally made as many field goals this week than he did all of last season, with a longer kick than anything he made last year too.

So his former ST coach is there, so perhaps some small adjustments and mindset was reset by someone he had a strong relationship with was all he needed? You see that happen all the time across different sports. Good for him. His booming kickoffs made things easier while here.

Collin’s already a better run blocker than reed imo

Denaburg made 38,29, and 25 yards.

I get we could have used some of these please but please look at the opponent, I mean SE Louisiana I'm pretty sure I could have got a tackle or two in the game...

There is a reason why ALOT of these players sat here and yes of course we did lose some good players but let's not throw away what we have.

Maybe and then out for the year

Maybe and then out for the DECADE

They played an FCS team called Southeast Louisiana.

Just to play devil's advocate, do you think anyone on our roster is going to put similar numbers in our game against Colgate?

Just to play devil’s advocate back atcha -

Didn’t KJE have 3 sacks against Holy Cross last year?

Looked like he could be a great
rush DE for us….

So yes - it’s entirely possible some random 2/3’rd stringer will have what looks like a standout game vs Colgate,
and yet, it won’t actually mean anything as to their overall career or impact as a player.

Every word you typed is true, but kind of besides the point. Mason had a good game and I bet if we watched the film, it would have been more impactful than KJE's outing, hence the conference player of the week honors. It doesn't really matter, but the kneejerk reaction some have to minimize his accomplishment is weird.

And I'd bet cash $$$ that none of our starters are going to put up the same numbers against Colgate. But I'll be super happy if someone like Reese or Omopariola prove me wrong. (Please prove me wrong!)
