SOUTH BEND, In. — One-win Syracuse stood where no one thought they’d stand in the second quarter against No. 2 Notre Dame — ahead on the scoreboard. The Orange punished the line of scrimmage, smothered the Irish passing game and moved the chains against the conference’s best team.
That shifted after one penalty, a roughing-the-passer call where Kinglsey Jonathan hit Ian Book’s helmet after he released the ball on third down. Three plays later, Book juked by Aman Greenwood, ducked under his wide receiver and reached across the goal line.
