Syracuse Football: A 5 question sit down with the enemy

Paul Esden Jr: The offense for the Hokies finally seems to have found their rhythm. And your quarterback, Jerod Evans, has seemingly surpassed even the loftiest expectations this season. We here in Syracuse know all about successful transfer stories, why has Evans been able to be so successful?

"CC: I think Evans is a sharp guy.  He originally signed with Air Force out of high school, and you’ve got to be a smart guy to be invited to attend that school.  But more than that, I feel like Justin Fuente and offensive coordinator Brad Cornselsen know how to use their quarterbacks. The best example I can think of isn’t Paxton Lynch at Memphis or Andy Dalton at TCU.  The best example is Jacob Karam at Memphis in 2012.  Karam wasn’t a particularly talented player, and the Tigers weren’t a very good team in Justin Fuente’s first year.  However, Fuente still got Karam to complete 64.2% of his passes while throwing just three interceptions.  He and Cornselsen have a natural gift of designing an offense that fit the strengths of their starting quarterback."
