Second Half Thread: Florida State 28, Syracuse 14

Syracuse opened this one up pretty well, to be honest. The defense looked lights-out on the first drive, getting a ton of pressure on Florida State QB Sean Maguire. In general, the team looked ready to defend whatever came at them, with screens being sniffed out quickly, plus a very nice sack by Ron Thompson.

Offensively, things clicked on drive two for the Orange after an incredibly well-executed screen turned into a huge 62-yard gain by Dontae Strickland, and then an Eric Dungey touchdown.

And then... whatever was going right went south quite a bit.
