Frazier: McNabb will start for 0-4 Vikings against Cardinals on Sunday

Schlosser had an offensive outburst, connecting on 20 of 34 passes for five touchdowns and no interceptions. Wideouts Steve Kuzyk and Trey Fairchild each pulled in two scores and totaled 145 and 132 yards, respectively.

OL Quinn Ojinnaka visits the Colts

Not assertive enough: With 8:27 left in the third quarter of a 10-10 game, Painter threw an incomplete pass on third down with less than a yard to go near midfield. Then the Colts punted. The Colts have to run there, and if they don't then they have to run on fourth down. For years we’ve talked about how they need to be able to run for a yard. Even with a dinged up offensive line, Delone Carter can’t get a yard?

Fantasy

Backup RB Delone Carter carried the ball seven times for 21 yards in Week 4 against the Bucs.

He would need an injury to Joseph Addai to matter in fantasy leagues, and even then there's no reason to believe he would be an upgrade over Addai, who is struggling.

Addai carried the rock just four more times than Carter tonight, but the small sample size and the injuries on the O-Line make it difficult to know for sure if Addai lost every-down duties. Either way, Carter is just barely worth stashing with such low upside.

I always blamed Jake and Buzz for screwing up the original ACC overture back in 2003. That Daily Orange article is all the proof I need.

-Syracuse history professor David Bennett thought it was obvious SU could still join the ACC even after June 24. This was an obvious second chance as, to Bennett, it was clear the ACC would go to 12 teams to have a lucrative conference championship game.

Bennett, the former chairman of the Athletic Policy Board and the NCAA Faculty Representative from 1975-95, went to Shaw.
"The question I had for (Shaw), it wasn't a question, it was a strong feeling, and it was that this could not stand," Bennett said. " … They were clearly going to add either Boston College or Syracuse. And I thought we should make a full-court press to be that school."

Shaw and Crouthamel chose not to.-
