The Syracuse football team finished their season with a disappointing 4-8 final record. But their explosive offense didn’t get the full credit it deserved.

While the Syracuse football team had a lackluster finish, don’t blame their gaudy offensive production. Several players stood out in an otherwise disappointing season for the Orange.

Some of those players garnered national recognition, but not everyone did apparently. One player in-particular seemingly did enough to get some sort of recognition, but not an honorable mention.

Syracuse throughout the season. He more than tripled his production from the year prior in this

new Dino Babers offense. Finishing the season with 90 receptions for 822 yards and six scores. But when the ACC released their All-ACC teams, Philips was no where to be found.

While the voting process usually isn’t all about numbers, it still seems a bit puzzling he didn’t make it in. The other three receivers who made it over him all had significantly less production in all the major categories.

surprising. I mean a Senior Grad-Transfer in Amba Etta-Tawo is now the new record holder for all the major categories in Syracuse football history.

Come on man with this foolishness. Philips set a tie with Pro Football Hall of Famer, Art Monk, with his 14 receptions in their opening campaign game against Colgate. If SU can’t make a bowl game at the very least we want to accumulate all the consolation prizes we can. Not sure how this can be explained, there’s no other way to put it, Erv got gypped.
