Notre Dame recruit Abraham quits Irish for Syracuse
In 1983 Utica’s Byron Abraham recalls choosing Syracuse over Notre Dame after a tense push by Gerry Faust. He rose briefly on the ND squad before transferring, citing a tough environment, limited social life, and high expectations. He now eyes SU backfield time and a bowl bid, while fans anticipate Faust’s future. Notes mention Salvation Army Day at the Carrier Dome with canned goods for relief.
