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.
Speaking of Marrone, he apparently knows how to use the extra time off. The program is now 3-0 under the coach after a bye week.
Dorian Graham topped his performance last week on one play, returning a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. It was the first Orange return for a touchdown since Mike Holmes ran one back against Pittsburgh in 2008.
You can put the punting competition to bed. Jonathan Fisher finished the game with an average of 44 yards on four punts, including a 57-yarder.
Antwon Bailey had his fourth consecutive 100-yard game, finishing with 125 yards on the ground. That ties the second longest streak of 100-yard games in Syracuse history.
Ryan Nassib had a day to remember. His 24 completions moved him past Troy Nunes and Don McPherson for fourth all-time at Syracuse. Nassib also finished with 229 yards through the air and five total touchdowns, including one on the ground.
