In every season Dino Babers has been the head coach of a football team, his offense has produced a 1,000-yard receiver.
This season, the offense might again, but Babers said the identity of that guy for SU is a bigger mystery than it’s been the past two years.
Unlike the past two seasons, where Amba Etta-Tawo and Steve Ishmael assumed the mantle of No. 1 receiver, Syracuse has unanswered questions about who will be the top target and the succession beyond.
Throughout fall camp, a mix of lightly-seasoned veterans and talented freshmen competed for spots. But even with a Week 1 date against Western Michigan less than a week away, SU’s wide receiver hierarchy is murky.
