The Syracuse Orange will celebrate the 30 year anniversary of the undefeated 1987 squad this weekend during the game against the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders. As part of the celebration, Syracuse Athletics has asked fans to vote for the top five plays from the 87 season and are offering some pretty nice prizes for the Clemson game if you vote.
When you think about the 1987 season a lot of people will think of the sequence against the West Virginia Mountaineers in the final game of the regular season. A last minute touchdown pass from Don McPherson to Pat Kelly followed by Michael Owens taking the option pitch in for the winning two-point conversion is certainly what is replayed when talking about the season.
