The Syracuse Orange easily dispatched the UConn Huskies 48-14 on Saturday night. It was strong performance by the Orange, especially from Garrett Shrader and the passing game.
Syracuse took care of the ball on offense and scored on their first seven possessions. With UConn focused on containing Sean Tucker, Shrader shredded the Huskies secondary going 20-23 for nearly 300 yards. Despite the numbers, the offense had opportunities for more during this game as two drives stalled in the red zone resulting in field goals.
The good news is that Syracuse remains perfect on the season in the red zone (10-10) but in the view of the coaches, there were drives that left points on the board and those points can be crucial in close games.
