One of the most important position groups in all of football is the offensive line.

Syracuse is seeing some turnover at that group from a year ago. Steve Farmer is taking over as position coach as Mike Schmidt left the program in the offseason.

Syracuse also has to replace Matthew Bergeron, a guy who anchored the line for the last couple of years. But so far so good for that group through practice. The Orange are making steady improvements with a mix of fresh and familiar faces. They feel they can be one of the best in the ACC after an up and down season in 2022.

“Coach Farmer’s bought a lot of good stuff to be versatile on the line," lineman Josh Ilaoa said. "Being able to play multiple positions and getting more vertical than we usually get said on an angle brought a lot of a lot of help to offense so far this offseason. Spring too. We're looking to exceed last year's expectations as a unit scoring more and being more efficient, converting all those.”
