It’s hard to read too much into the Syracuse Orange’s win over Albany last weekend. However there is some encouraging news in the first-down numbers from the game. I’ll leave the offensive line breakdowns to Steve but despite the final score it was clear Syracuse
After ditching the run too early in the Rutgers loss it appeared that Syracuse was going to repeat that philosophy as Sean Tucker only touched the ball twice on the first seven first-down snaps. After Albany returned an interception for a touchdown, Sterlin Gilbert went back to the ground game the rest of the half with varied success.
