Syracuse Daily Links - Spring Questions For SU Football

Five biggest Big East spring questions - Big East Blog - ESPN
What now, Syracuse and Louisville?: The Orange and the Cardinals were two of the feel-good stories of 2010, escaping the league basement and going on to win bowl games. Both relied on a large amount of seniors last season, though, raising questions about how they will follow up their breakthroughs. For Syracuse, who steps up at linebacker, running back and wide receiver?

The Sports Sauna: Who the Orange Should Root for this Week
The best bet for the Orange is probably a 2-game losing streak by the Irish. Failing that, St. John's would need one slip up. Louisville would need two.

Hater of the Week goes to Casual Hoya, who dropped Syracuse to 7th. That's not too far off from the margin, but it's pretty clear, at least at this point, that Syracuse should be above the 7-loss fray in the middle of the conference.

Otto's Army : Has Syracuse Turned A Corner?
To me, it still seems like there are more questions than answers. But make no mistake—Syracuse is in great position. Have they turned the corner? Perhaps not. But the corner is definitely in sight and if they have a few weeks in March like the final one in February, 2010-2011 will turn out to be a pleasant surprise.

"Last year we got it, and we lost the first game," Triche said. "So the double-bye, it's good for you. But again, you're going to be playing a good team, especially in the Big East. … It doesn't really mean a lot. Because again, playing in the Big East, you can lose to any team."

If the SU players are doing what coach Boeheim tells them to do, Syracuse is extremely tough to score against, especially for non-conference opponents who rarely see a defense like SU's.
