Money Quote:

With the opportunity I have there at Syracuse, with not a whole lot of depth there and nobody having started a game, I think I have a good opportunity to come in and compete.

Which SU Coach Gets a Bonus?: According to Rivals, Donnie Henderson, but we know that Nate Hackett was influential as well.

Fun Fact: After Henderson and Hackett left, new QB coach Tim Lester was on the case. According to Wilson, he's met with Lester three times already.
