Greg Paulus on Pace to Have the Best Passing Season in ‘Cuse History

The Greg Paulus QB Experiment is really not turning out to be the trainwreck we so desperately wanted to watch expected. He’s led Syracuse to a 2-2 record thus far, and is putting up some pretty impressive numbers: 144.2 rating, 68.4 completion percentage and 222 yards/game.

↵It’s that last bit that could lead to him securing a place in the Orange record book:

↵↵Despite being away from the sport for five years, Paulus is averaging 222 passing yards per game, behind only Marvin Graves’ school-record average of 231.5 in 1993. The last time an SU starter averaged more than 200 was Donovan McNabb in 2007 (207.3). If he maintains his current pace Paulus will end the season with 2,664 yards, a school record. Remarkable.

↵↵The other thing I find interesting about all of this: Paulus is so much less hate-able when he’s wearing the uniform of a below average football team as opposed to the royal blue and white.
