In-Depth Analysis
Syracuse, facing a string of injuries, made a bold move by starting Joseph Filardi, a prized lacrosse recruit, at quarterback against North Carolina. Filardi, a former Long Island high school star in both football and lacrosse, struggled in his debut, completing only 4 of 18 passes. The decision to start Filardi came after starting quarterback Steve Agneli suffered a season-ending injury and LSU transfer Rickie Collins failed to ignite the offense. Despite Filardi’s high school accolades, including setting Long Island passing records, he faced a tough North Carolina defense. The Syracuse offense managed only 147 total yards in the game. Coach Fran Brown sought a spark by making the change, but it didn't translate to success on the field.
