As you know, Syracuse Orange running back Sean Tucker is putting up numbers at a torrid pace during the 2021 season so far.
He’s already rushed for 791 yards (second in the country), has the fourth-most rushing scores with nine, and leads the FBS in yards from scrimmage with 995. And of course, all of this comes in just six games. Provided Tucker stays healthy — knocks on every piece of wood within reach — he’s clearly on pace for a pretty historic season at Syracuse.
The conversation around giving him 44 is part of this, too.
