Syracuse’s first down offense vs Liberty

The Syracuse Orange offense on Friday night was completely focused on the running game. It took the Liberty Flames a while to catch on to the plan and when we look at the numbers on first down you can see when they did.

I loved the first play deep shot to Damien Alford. If you go back and watch the replay, the Orange used a receiver in motion and then called play-action sending Alford and Taj Harris deep down the seam. Both receivers were open and had Garret Shrader’s throw been on the money it was a walk-in touchdown.
