Syracuse 30, Central Michigan 27: 5 Takeaways from Orange's Win

SU moved to 3-0 but lost Dungey to injury. That and more takeaways from the win.

The Syracuse Orange moved to 3-0 by topping Central Michigan 30-27 in overtime at the Carrier Dome on Saturday. Here are five takeaways:

1. 3-0 for first time since 1991

It wasn't pretty, but Syracuse managed to earn its third consecutive win Saturday, putting the Orange at 3-0 for the first time since 1991. We expected SU to get to 3-0 -- Syracuse was the favorite in each game thus far -- but actually reaching it is a relatively big deal.
