Syracuse offensive line coach Mike Schmidt is one of 59 nominees for the Broyles Award, given to the best assistant coach in college football.
The Orange have a top-5 rushing offense in the country, and running back Sean Tucker sits in second for both total rushing yards and rushing yards per game with 1,362 and 136.2, respectively. Quarterback Garrett Shrader is tied for 13th in the nation for most rushing touchdowns (13).
Schmidt is a huge part behind that rushing success, head coach Dino Babers has said.
