Sean Tucker did his thing and pounded the Liberty defense for 169 yards of tough-sledding running. He averaged 5.3 yards per carry on 32 rushes and didn't have a rush longer than 27 yards on Friday night.
Andre Szmyt played hero for the Orange (3-1), drilling a last-second field goal to lift 'Cuse past the Flames (3-1) and provide redemption for an SU team that was bested last season in Liberty's stretch of 15 victories in its last 16 games.
But Szmyt doesn't get that chance and Tucker's stellar performance wouldn't be as sweet if the Syracuse defense didn't once again step up when their backs were against the wall.
