Syracuse University football is experiencing a significant quarterback shortage caused by a series of injuries. Following a 28-25 loss to Virginia, the team faced further uncertainty when Malachi Nelson exited the game with a potential upper-body or collarbone injury, forcing fourth-string quarterback Danny Lauter into play.

Other players, including original starter Steve Angeli, have been sidelined with injuries such as an Achilles issue. As the team prepares to host Louisville, the roster remains unstable with multiple players listed as out or questionable, including wide receiver Darien Williams and Amari Odom. The ongoing injury issues have contributed to Louisville becoming the betting favorite for the upcoming matchup.
