2 Straight Wins
For the 2nd straight week the Syracuse orange football team has won. This week it was down in Death Valley as they beat Clemson 23-20. Ross Krautman the Orange kicker kicked a game winning field goal as time expired. The Syracuse defense played outstanding the whole game allowing less then 300 yards of offense the entire game. The Syracuse pass rush was excellent, in fact it was better then ever recording 8 sacks. The Tigers also recorded a lot of sacks getting 6. The defenses dominated this game as both offenses struggled in the heavy rain. In the end it was the Orange that were able to put together the right plays and get the win.

"We are playing very good right now. Hopefully we will keep playing like this, and the winning will continue." Those were the words from offensive coordinator Cam Jackson after the game. It is unknown why head coach Doug Marrone didn't come out after the game. Jackson went on to say that he thought the defense was playing at it's highest level since he came here to coach. The offense is not to bad either, although this season has been a little off for them. Syracuse returns home for a game against rival West Virginia next week.
