Normally I wouldn’t drop a top player on this Syracuse football team this far in these rankings. However, others excelled more, much like the case with Ishmael. He had a decent game, with 5 catches for 54 yards, but not nearly as good as we’ve come to expect from him. In addition, he struggled last week as well, albeit in bad conditions.

Etta-Tawo is extremely talented, but double teams are now catching on and looking for him. Still ranked number 2 nationally in receiving yards, he’s still a threat week in-and-week-out. Look for him to have a better game next week at lowly Boston College.
