The No. 44 holds a major place in Syracuse football lore, as it was worn by Hall of Fame running backs Jim Brown and Floyd Little, as well as Ernie Davis, who won a Heisman Trophy while donning the digits. The number was retired in 2005, but today, the Syracuse administration officially announced it would be returned to active duty beginning this fall.
The move is an extremely popular one among the ‘Cuse faithful, but one famous former SU quarterback is very unhappy with the decision.
