Fresh Slate

Dear readers,

It’s that time of year again. Our 2015 football preview provides a great inside look on the previous hurdles and forward-thinking goals of four of Syracuse’s senior contributors. We’ll delve into the recovery process and offseason regimen of quarterback Terrel Hunt. We’ll show the injury struggles and perseverance of defensive lineman Luke Arciniega, as well as the maturation process of offensive lineman Ivan Foy and cornerback Julian Whigham. We also dive into stories from around the conference and the country, as well as look at the key stats for Syracuse football heading into the new season.

Thanks for reading,
Sam Blum, Sports Editor
