What more can we say about this guy. Turns out, lots! He is third in the nation in receiving yards, and fourth in the nation in receptions following his performance the first three games. He trails fellow teammate Ervin Phillips for third place in receptions by two, 30 to 28.

The skies the limit with Amba Etta-Tawo. He just continues to impress after being limited at

Maryland the last couple years. He has broke out as a star in Dino Babers system, and Dungey apparently trusts him having thrown to him 28 times in three games.

Etta-Tawo caught another 8 receptions this week for 123 yards, but failed to reach the end zone this week. Despite that one thing missing from his stats this week, his numbers speak for itself.

He has caught over 100 yards each of the first three games. He has not regressed, fallen off, or been any less of a factor even with defenses keying on him. If he keeps this up he will break lots of receiving record for Syracuse this year. He will continue to claim the top spot in these rankings as long as he keeps this up. Let’s hope that’s the case and leads to wins on the field as well.
