It didn’t last long. It was a flash of lightning and as quick as thunder. Amba Etta-Tawo’s career with the Orange lasted all of 12 games. 720 minutes. But it was the most fantastic season in SU’s illustrious 128+ year history.

Lets hit the refresh button at the top of your memory browser in case you forgot. 94 receptions, nearly 1500 yards, and 14 touchdowns. Breaking numerous long-standing university records in the process.

Amba came in as an often forgotten about grad-transfer who was the face of the Dino Babers express. So with the loss of Etta-Tawo and Brisly Estime, that’s over 2000 yards of combined offense that SU will have to replace.

The most likely answer is Steve Ishmael. He was supposed to be the beneficiary of this high-octane Babers offense. Instead he was a cast-off who had marginal success. Now is his chance to reclaim the throne. I always thought he could be a NFL prospect, it’s time to prove his worth. Also side note, Moe Neal is transitioning to wide receiver, he’s a sleeper for someone who could make an impact.
