By Jared Diamond
Mike Hopkins saw Mike Williams' potential before anyone in the football program.

By Michael Bonner
Last Friday in the Carrier Dome, 40,329 people watched Syracuse lose to Washington by 30 points, and most, if not all, hung their heads after the game envisioning another struggling season. It's a guarantee, though, there was at least one person in attendance with hope for the future.
