SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Redshirt senior Clayton Welch saw his first significant action at quarterback for the Syracuse football team Friday night against Pittsburgh. Welch initially entered the game as part of a specific package the Orange employed to attack the Panthers by utilizing the 6-foot-5 signal-caller as a runner. He took the reins of the offense full time in the third quarter after head coach Dino Babers elected to remove starter Tommy DeVito, who had absorbed six sacks from an aggressive Pitt defense.
Behind Welch, Syracuse outscored the Panthers 14-3 in the second half.
