The Syracuse Orange red zone offense has been an issue for Dino Babers’ tenure. Even when the offense was operating at it’s best, it often came to a halt inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.
First let’s look at the good news: The Orange have scored on all 16 red zone opportunities. We don’t want to downplay this fact because getting points in these situations is critical. The bad news is that seven of those scores are field goals.
Compare this to the Clemson Tigers who are 24-24 in the red zone, but with 18 touchdowns and only 6 field goals.
