Entering the season, one of the big questions surrounding Syracuse was how offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s scheme would turn out. So far, the implementation of the hybrid position and other ways to get players the ball in space has been a success. Through four games, the Orange has averaged 32.8 points, 188.3 rushing yards and 350.8 yards total.
In SU’s 10-point loss to then-No.8 Louisiana State, Lester used a mix of options, play actions and direct snaps to change up the pace and keep the offense moving. Trailing by 17 in the fourth quarter, the Orange went pass heavy, but on its three other scoring possessions, SU used a variety of play types.
