The Syracuse Orange had their chances to once again score an upset victory against another ranked opponent. For the second week in a row, Syracuse entered the halftime locker room trailing by four points. And for the second week in a row, the offense failed to get anything going in the second half as SU lost 21-10 to Pittsburgh.
In the second half, Syracuse ran 31 plays and gained only 52 yards. And it’s not like Pitt played a stellar game of football either. Multiple penalties and special teams errors put the Orange in prime position to score with good field position.
