Halftime Snack breaks down the Orange's final score against Akron.
Blog Picture Override:
With a 21-14 lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the Orange took advantage of the 40-pound average advantage on the offensive line. A 53-yard run by senior running back Delone Carter gave the Orange second-and-goal from the 4-yard line. Syracuse simplified its attack, putting quarterback Greg Paulus under center (two shotgun snaps earlier in the day had gone awry) while bringing in both tight ends into the single-back formation.
Carter got the hand off, ran behind big right tackle Jonathan Muldrum into the end zone for his third rushing touchdown of the game.
Carter ended the day with career-highs [13] in rushing yards (170) and rush attempts (30), while the Orange as a team accounted for a season-high 234 yards.
