Tale of the trenches: Syracuse vs. Florida State

On Saturday, the Syracuse Orange looked like a team that had solid line play on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Contrast that with the current thoughts coming out of the Florida State Seminoles on their offense, and it was bound to be a recipe for an Orange victory.

Let’s break this down two ways, from an offensive perspective, as well as a defensive standpoint. Syracuse definitively won both battles in the trenches, and with two very distinct methods of doing so. On offense, it was a well drilled approach, very reliant on years of cumulative work together.
