Interesting story in that after one week of practice Greg Paulus has been named the starting QB for the Orange Crush. I suppose Syracuse needs to do something to generate excitement back into their program but it's fascinating that a guy that hasn't played QB in four years since high school and hasn't taken a college snap was named starter so quickly.
I believe Paulus has the leadership and management qualities to be a QB (probably developed that as the PG for Duke) but seems like it would be hard to shake the rust off after 4 years. Not to mention Division I A football is a whole lot different than high school. Again, a lot more people will be interesting in Syracuse now that he is QB so good for them.

He was a top-rated high school QB, and I'm sure he can still play some ball. I don't really care much for Syracuse, but I would like to see him perform well. It would be nice after his Duke bb career fizzled out.
It will be interesting. No question he has talent given that he was one of the best QBs coming out of college. However, not having taken a snap in 4 years will be a challenge and then I'm sure Smallville High School isn't like facing West VA or Pitt.
I wish him luck.
