Syracuse Football: 2 viral moments stood out in Holy Cross matchup

Syracuse football is 3-2 after five weeks of play and will enjoy a long bye week before returning to action on the road vs NC State in Week 7.

Although before we get there, two viral moments really stand out from the Week 5 contest vs Holy Cross that merit further discussion.

Late in the first half, the Orange led 24-3 and appeared on the verge of getting the ball back when the referees stopped the game and said they wanted to give the last play a look.

Holy Cross quarterback Connor Degenhardt escaped initial pressure in the end zone to avoid the safety, stepped up in the pocket, held onto the ball and got absolutely drilled by No.
