“I feel like this year's going to be a lot more opportunities on the field."
That was Syracuse Orange wide receiver Steve Ishmael in August. And it made a lot of sense why he’d say that. SU’s leading receiver last year was in prime position to be the main beneficiary of Dino Babers’ explosive offense. We tagged him and Eric Dungey as two guys with a good shot to shoot up the SU record books in a hurry.
So far, we’ve been right about one of them.
As pretty much no one could’ve predicted, grad transfer Amba Etta-Tawo has actually ended up becoming Dungey’s favorite target and is currently on pace for a world-beating season, perhaps the best a Syracuse receiver has ever had.
