Syracuse 44 - Bye Week 0: Orange Conquer Fightin' Byes, Survive Bengal Tiger Attack

Two ESPN personalities dared to attack Riley Dixon's reputation before Saturday's game. Bye Week University paid the price.

The expectation was that the Syracuse Orange would find themselves in a dogfight with the Bye Week Fightin' Byes on Saturday. They'd be in hangover-mode from the LSU game or looking ahead to the South Florida Bulls and the lowly Byes (0-5) would be able to sneak up on SU.

Perhaps that is what would have happened, if not for Samantha Ponder and David Pollack.

During their #YouHadOneJob segment on College Gameday, the dimwitted duo decided to spin Riley Dixon's epic fake field goal first down from the previous week into some kind of premeditated punch opportunity.
