It’s just about August, so college football previews are now running in earnest. And with the Syracuse Orange slated to be a top-25 team when the first poll drops in a few weeks, that means more attention on the program in preseason than we’ve seen in nearly two decades.
Three separate articles have appeared in the last 24 hours with a “breakout” tag on either Syracuse or new starting quarterback Tommy DeVito, which feels weird to hear but also, awesome. The hype around DeVito, in particular, comes as a surprise since it doesn’t just bank on known results but the fact that experts are projecting him to be great right out the gate compared to other passers in the country.
