After a 1-2 start to the season and an 0-2 start inside Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play, there is a lot of loud conversation surrounding the Syracuse Orange football program.

Most of that conversation right now centers on the quarterback position and what will happen to Steve Angeli in Week 5.

Angeli, who came back this year from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 4 of last season, was supposed to be a reason for optimism for Fran Brown's group. However, Angeli has provided more questions than answers so far, throwing five second half interceptions in the last two games. One of those, against Cal, was returned for a touchdown. Another came in the final minute of the game with Syracuse driving to tie the game or take the lead.

Against Pitt on Thursday, Angeli threw two in the second half as SU tried to get back into the game. Syracuse lost 27-13. Angeli was benched in the fourth quarter for Amari Odom.

And while Angeli deserves his fair share of criticism, there is another group that Syracuse needs more from: The offensive line.

As noted by the ESPN broadcast, Syracuse has the heaviest offensive line in the FBS at more than 310 pounds on average. They simply need to play to their size and allow the offense more chances.

In that 21-18 loss to Cal, the Orange ran the ball a whopping 36 times, but they gained only 118 yards (3.3 yards per carry). Cal had three sacks and Angeli was forced off his spot far too often. 

On Thursday, the Orange ran it 38 times, another staggering amount, but they only gained 3.7 yards per carry (142 yards). The overall rushing output in terms of yards gained was good, but it wasn't a very efficient attack. Pitt had two sacks and once again, Angeli was forced off his spot.

Outside of the offensive line simply playing to that size, then Syracuse is probably going to have to get creative as it works around the group's porous play.

1) Odom can start the next game to see if that makes a difference. Odom is a better runner than Angeli and he can more easily evade the rush, which can open some plays up down the field. It also puts less pressure on the O-line since Odom can get outside easier.

2) More quick-hitting passing plays can be called. Less time spent having to block and the ball in the hands of play makers quicker could make a big difference.

The Orange will hit the bye week in Week 4 before playing UConn on the road on Oct. 3. That's supposed to be the first action for start recruit Calvin Russell, which can help the offense as well.
