Related Topics: Syracuse, Syracuse Orange

We knew the Syracuse Orange put on an offensive show in Saturday’s 65-0 win over Colgate. How big was it?

Well the Orange set a couple of school records in their 2023 opener. The 677 yards set a new Syracuse mark for total offense, surpassing the 675 the 1992 Orange put up against Rutgers.

Syracuse had a 100-yard rusher (LeQuint Allen with 107), a 100-yard receiver (Umari Hatcher with 105) and four more players who surpassed 50 yards rushing or receiving: Ike Daniels (63 yards on the ground), Isaiah Jones (71), Donovan Brown (65), and Oronde Gadsden (57).
