The Syracuse Orange offense only mustered seven points on Saturday so it’s expected that once again they struggled on first downs. Let’s see how bad it actually was...
Early on Syracuse came out looking to establish the run and the first offensive play was encouraging. Unfortunately it went all downhill after that LeQuint Allen run. The Orange were chasing the scoreboard all afternoon and the offense did nothing in the first half to throw the defense a life preserver.
