Quick Hits: Syracuse, playing an FCS team, delivers as expected
by The Juice Online from on (#6EDMG)
Syracuse gave you exactly what you want from a game featuring an FBS team against an FCS team that went 3-8 the previous season and has not finished at .500 or higher since 2018. The Orange won 65-0 without scoring in the fourth quarter while lots of players saw action, including nine players carrying the ball, ten different players notching at least one reception, and the fourth-string quarterback taking snaps for the last drive. There is a temptation to write it off as nerves or adrenaline, but Syracuse tied for the most penalties per game in college football last year and have been outside the top 100 in fewest infractions the last five years.
