Syracuse: Moe Neal, RB
In 2018, Syracuse reached double digit wins on the arm and legs of Eric Dungey. He wasn’t only a great quarterback, but also the emotional leader of this team.
With Dungey now gone, and shaky sophomore Tommy DeVito taking over the quarterback, it is Moe Neal who will take over the Dungey role.
He, as a senior, will have to fill the leadership void that is left by Dungey’s departure. He will also have to shoulder a good amount of the offensive load. DeVito’s career numbers don’t inspire much confidence, with a 50.6 completion percentage and a four to three touchdown to interception ratio. This offense will need to establish a strong running game, led by Neal.
The screen game could become another tool used to help the young passer, so Neal could open up another facet of his game.
