All season long we’ve been tracking the Syracuse Orange first-down offense and an area that has been a problem has suddenly become a strength as the season comes to a close. Last week we saw the Orange using the run to put the game away but this week it was a number of big plays which gave the Syracuse offense chances against the Louisville Cardinals.
We’ve been concerned about the in-game adjustments this season but once again the Syracuse offense came out with a solid plan to open the game. A missed opportunity in the red zone ended the drive with a field goal instead of a touchdown but it set the tone for what the Orange would do throughout the game.
