F. . Backup: Kendall Moore. . CAMERON MACPHERSON

This unit is barely worth talking about as they barely had any catches at all. The only two tight ends who had any statistics for Syracuse Football were Cameron MacPherson and Kendall Moore, both seniors. MacPherson had five catches for 34 yards, while Moore had one catch for 15 yards, according to ESPN.com.

They combined to score zero touchdowns on the season. That comes out to six catches for 49 yards on the season for the tight ends combined. In my book, that’s pathetic; especially in a run and gun offense like Dino Babers has set up. The key is to throw and throw quick, and who better than your closest options: the tight ends? That is why this unit is barely worth mentioning in my book and why I gave them an F grade.
