From a Behind Enemy Lines: Five Questions and Answers about the Syracuse Orange on NoleGamDay (LINK):
Isaiah Johnson was the 2nd string corner that got elevated with Williams ' injury, but he's looked impressive in his time, especially being a transfer from Dartmouth. The Detroit native is long and lanky at 6'3, and he had a pick against Clemson in his 1st full game as a starter.

EXTRA POINT
This electronic precinct strives to be decidedly apolitical, so don't read this the wrong way.
With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy, you know you aren't staying in a Marriott hotel when . . .
• The clerk checking you in is wearing a Let's Go Brandon sweatshirt.
• You are told at the check-in that the room rate is $3 cheaper if you pay cash money instead of a card.
• Someone left a jug of Drano Ultra on the bathroom sink and you soon discover why.
Here's the kicker. Each time I come out this way I stay at this little place and I'll do it again next time, if there is one. Now I've got to go turn on the hot water for the shower because a little note says it could take four minutes to come on ;-)
