Dorian is already out there. He just can't catch the ball.
I don't care if he's seventh string or redshirting or whatever. Get the fastest WR you have on the field. Now.
We simply DO NOT have the game breakers out there to help us win those tough games. Delone Carter was one of those, but after his hip injury, it smacked him down a notch. He still had his strength, but his lateral quickness was diminished.
Could you IMAGINE what he would have looked like the last 2 seasons, if he wasn't injured? Syracuse could have easily won 10 games last year with a fully charged DC...
lolI'm waiting for the ball to hit and kill the field judge.

Tough games?We just lost 3 straight TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE BIG F*CKING EAST!BY 20 AT HOME TO THE LAST PLACE TEAM!We are in last place in the crappiest conference in the country.TOUGH GAMES?How in the hell are THESE the tough games?
The team put us to sleep."Great fan support tonight by Syracuse...I've been inside libraries that were louder.
No i dont think there is. do you notice that when we do throw deep our guys are always covered? it doesn't matter that nassib overthrows or underthrows, the recievers always have a guy on them, sometimes two and they are running step for step. what i find interesting is the deep throws are always off play action and yet the receivers are covered. that tells me that nobody respects the passing game or the running game. they're playing run straight up with dt's and lbs and letting corners/safeties play assignment.
They are TOUGH because those teams have BETTER TALENT Than Syracuse.
Don't kid yourself, TALENT is the deciding factor here...

Who has better talent than SU? WVU and Pitt and Cincy. The rest, pfft. None of them have talent, or at least not a lot of it.
The only Big East team we have more talent than is UConn. Rutgers, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Louisville and South Florida all have more talent than us.
Sorry, but you are wrong about Lemon stretching the field. Yes, he has played very solid the last two games. However, he will not beat a BCS corner one on one or get through a double coverage and make a deep play in a consistent basis. Yesterday's stat was patted with several catches during garabage time. WR who used to stretch the field at SU are players like Rob Moore, Marvin Harrison, Mike Williams, Quiton Spotwood and Kevin Johnson.
Our WRs are mostly FCS talent. Graham and Kobena are physical machine who can't catch a ball in a consistent basis. West is a possession receiver who is very average. Chew is the worst starting WR in BCS conference. Lemon is a very good possession receiver who would make a lot of BCS team happy as a 3rd or 4th WR. In addition, we have a very average OL, TB and inconsistent QB. That's why we are ranked #80-90 offense in the nation. Better play call wouldn't make much difference.
Marrone has to recruit better talent. He has yet to bring in better WR than Lemon or Chew and that is showing up on the scoreboard. IMO Delone Carter and Antown Bailey (GRob recruits) are way better than Tyson Gulley, Jerome Smith or Adonis Moore (his recruits). He hasn't brought in any big time QB or OL. If he keeps bringing in 2 star talents who's only offers were Buffalo, Central Michigan or Bowling Green, he will have a trouble winning vs. Big East or ACC teams. We just gotta pray 2 star recruits turn to next diamond in the rough because we have a very few 3 and 4 star recruits coming in.
