Syracuse Orange football’s three-game gauntlet is finally over. With lighter opponents on tap down the road, hopefully, this is the last time I deliver you a disappointing third-down and red zone efficiency report.
SU’s offense stalled at every down and distance against Florida State, finishing 6-for-19 on third downs overall. The defense wasn’t much better, allowing their opponent to convert over 50% of their conversions for the second straight week. If there’s one positive, it’s The Mob’s red zone defense, which we’ll dive into below.
Offensive success
Third down and 1-3 yards: 2-for-3
LeQuint Allen looked explosive on these two conversions, breaking two runs to the outside for first downs.
