Syracuse calls audible, replaces QB late in week
Football
Syracuse coach Greg Robinson replaced incumbent quarterback Andrew Robinson on Friday.
Enter senior Cameron Dantley, who did not appear destined to take a snap until Robinson's horrid performance at Northwestern.
The son of NBA hall of famer Adrian Dantley, Cameron is a walk-on who earned a scholarship just last year. Last season, he completed 48-of-90 passes for five touchdowns and three interceptions.
What this really means is that Syracuse will rely more heavily on its running game, which finally twitched after last season's coma.
