A quarterback torched SU for a second straight week Saturday. More on that here.
After John Wolford torched Syracuse for 373 yards through the air in Week 2, I didn't think it was possible for the Orange's pass defense to regress. But that's what happened Saturday, when Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns against SU in a 30-27 loss.
Rush is a talented quarterback, but I'm less inclined to give him credit for what transpired than I am to blame Syracuse. Thanks to some inherent flaws in SU's defensive schemes, Rush was consistently throwing to wide open receivers.
