The Syracuse fan base got its second glimpse of what offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s new hybrid position could look like during Saturday evening’s Fan Fest scrimmage.
The hybrid, which was also featured in the Orange’s spring game in April, lined up mostly as either a slot receiver or on the wing next to the offensive tackle. SU head coach Scott Shafer has said it could also set up in the backfield, but that rarely occurred on Saturday.
While Shafer said the offense didn’t show much of its playbook, he pointed out a reverse by starting hybrid Ervin Philips that resulted in a touchdown and a first down off a reverse by backup Ben Lewis.
