SYRACUSE, N.Y. – After limited success running the football the last two weeks, Syracuse's ground game showed improvement yesterday afternoon against Florida State, especially in the second half.
The Orange logged a season-high 51 carries for 192 yards, their highest output of the season against an ACC opponent. Syracuse accumulated 157 of those yards after halftime and scored a pair of rushing touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Excluding lost sack yardage, the Orange gained 216 yards on 44 attempts (4.9 avg.) against the Seminoles.
"We wanted to run the football. It's not that we didn't want to run before, but we were going to be headstrong about it," said head coach Dino Babers.
