When Syracuse released its week 3 depth chart ahead of Saturday’s game against Georgia Tech, running back Sean Tucker’s name was not on it.
Stuck behind the Orange’s top two backs in Jawhar Jordan and Markenzy Pierre, Tucker wasn’t considered a main option in the offense’s original plans, even with the opt-outs of Abdul Adams and Jarveon Howard. Tucker still hasn’t appeared on a depth chart this season in three games. But Syracuse head coach Dino Babers always suggested that there were players who could play their way into bigger roles as the season progressed.
