The Syracuse Orange secondary has played inconsistently for a decade or so. Sometimes the group is slightly better, sometimes it's slightly worse. But you just know, by and large, there will be some rough patches each and every season. This season is more than just a rough patch, though, and it's a culmination of three increasingly disastrous years under DBs coach Fred Reed. This is not a hit piece on Reed or any of the players in the secondary. But rather, a presentation of facts that encourage some changes.
We start with the LSU game. On just eight completions, Syracuse was burned for 157 yards and a touchdown.
