Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone named former Duke basketball player Greg Paulus as his starting quarterback on Monday night, even though Paulus has not played football in four years and has never played a collegiate snap. Paulus, a high school football star who played point guard for the Blue Devils for four years, transferred to Syracuse as a graduate student this spring. Despite having just a week of official practice under his belt, Paulus beat out sophomore Ryan Nassib and senior Cam Dantley. His first college football game will be Sept. 5 against Minnesota in the Carrier Dome.
