After four years in the back court of the Duke Blue Devils, Greg Paulus will now be passing an oblong ball for the Syracuse Orange. Yesterday, Greg Paulus was named the starting quarterback for Syracuse University in their opener against Minnesota at noon on Sept. 5.
Paulus graduated from Duke, but still has 1 year of eligibility left and has decided to use it at Syracuse. He didn't join the Orange for workouts until July, and he has already been named the starting quarterback. He didn't participate in Spring Practice, but he has beaten out the other QBs to be the starter. Something is wrong with this picture. Yes, I know he has talent. Coming out of high school, Paulus was one of the elite high school quarterbacks in the country. However, he has not thrown a football in 4 years, let alone thrown one with huge defensive linemen breathing down his neck.
Either Paulus is a natural and has a nack of picking up the offense quickly, or the Orange other quarterbacks are really bad. I hope the best for him. I hope he succeeds, but I cant help but feel for the other QBs who put in the work in the Spring and Summer workouts. They paid their dues. I'm not sure Paulus did.
