They are also starting a new C
This may be a factor ...

Agree on the Pugh comment. Alexander was completely lost that game and his struggles destroyed almost anything we tried to do on offense. If we had even a mediocre OT at that position that day, we would have won by 15 or 20 points.
Some good points by the guy who wrote the article. O'Brien is a fine offensive mind who will be smart enough to avoid some of the traps lesser OCs fall into playing Syracuse. Could see the Nits using 2 TE formations all game long, trying to wear SU down with a power attack and some short dump passes.
Should be a really interesting game. I am very interested to see how McDonald attacks the Penn State defense.
Takeaways:
1. They have a new QB AND a new center. Chaos indeed.
2. We have a couple more OMG speed guys on O now (GM II, Estime, Ashton?)
3. Here's to hoping they play "plain Jane" D for our new QB, whoever it is.
4. That game was before our running game clicked last season. Changed everything.

I've been flying the Syracuse banner out front for almost a week now & no eggs have hit my house yet. GO ORANGE!
