"Now with offensive coordinator Tim Lester looking to incorporate the flexible outside zone-running play into his system, Morris and McFarlane’s ability to break tackles and run downhill will be crucial in setting up quarterback Terrel Hunt and SU’s passing game.

The outside zone is used by the Seattle Seahawks, among other teams, and Morris and some of his teammates likened he and McFarlane’s rushing style to Marshawn Lynch’s. Lester said he isn’t planning on having one rusher carry the ball 200 times — like Smith did in 2013 — but added that he’ll ride the “hot hand” whenever one emerges.

A pervading concept so far this spring is that the running game will be heavily factored into Syracuse’s offense moving forward. Last season, Wake Forest was the only Atlantic Coast Conference team with fewer team carries than SU, and Orange running backs ran for just two touchdowns the whole year. "
