News and notes from Syracuse's upset win against West Virginia, 49-23.

 My recap of Syracuse's shocking victory at home against then-No. 11 West Virginia, 49-23. “We had a good victory tonight. It really means a lot," head coach Doug Marrone said after the win.


The announced attendance for the game was 45,265. That’s the largest crowd at an SU home football game since the first game of Marrone’s tenure.

Scott continues to anchor secondary

The Battle for the Schwartzwalder Trophy Friday will come down to the performance of the secondary against West Virginia's star quarterback, Geno Smith. Luckily for SU, Kevyn Scott leads the group.

The plot was familiar to Syracuse fans except for some minor changes.

This time, the quarterback was Toledo's Austin Dantin, not Wake Forest's Ted Stachitas. The interception was a leaping grab near the right side of the end zone, not a diving grab to snare the ball at the 32 of the opposition. The game was in overtime, as opposed to the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
