Syracuse football backup quarterback Charley Loeb is ready, willing and coach says he's able | syracuse.com
Loeb hopes that process eventually leads to trading his place-kick holder’s duties for a starting job at quarterback – if not this season, maybe next year after Nassib departs and the Orange joins the Atlantic Coast Conference? "Yeah. I don’t want to sound cliche, but I just want to focus on now," he said. "I want to focus on Day One (of preseason camp) before I think about Day 367."
Syracuse: 5 questions heading into the season - CBSSports.com
With matchups against Northwestern, USC and Minnesota in the first month, Syracuse will be challenged from the outset. The Orange also face Missouri late in the season.

Orange tries to find a starter from a stable of running backs - YNN, Your News Now
The Orange has more than a handful of running backs competing for the starting job vacated by Antwon Bailey. Jerome Smith is the leading returner, but he only ran for 134 yards last year.

CFT predicts: the Big East | CollegeFootballTalk
6. Syracuse (last season: 5-7) The highlight of Syracuse’s 2011 season was a 49-23 dismantling of West Virginia. After that, it was all downhill with five straight losses to end the year 5-7. Like other Northeastern programs, Syracuse just isn’t what it used to be and the talent in that area doesn’t support programs like it did a couple of decades ago. Doug Marrone is a good enough coach that he might be able to have some success here and there — I don’t think that changes much in the ACC, either — but the Orange leaves the Big East on a low note.

Those guys on this squad will forever be able to say something that no other group of college football players will be able to repeat this year: "We are the athletic descendants of Ernie Davis." No matter the final record, that makes them a lucky bunch.
Syracuse Football 12 in '12: No.3 Ryan Nassib | syracuse.com
Ryan Nassib, a fifth-year redshirt, enters his senior season as starting quarterback for the Syracuse University football team for the third consecutive season.
