SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Fast and physical. That's how linebacker Lakiem Williams said the Orange defense wanted to play against Duke.

Williams and Co. delivered, as Syracuse created three Duke turnovers on consecutive possessions in the third quarter. The takeaways led to 21 points to help the Orange gain full control of what was, at the time, a one-score game yesterday at Wallace Wade Stadium. Syracuse eventually emerged as 49-6 victors, the largest winning margin for the Orange against an FBS opponent since 2000.

The game-changing surge started on the second series of the third quarter.
