Of the 300-plus players at Lucas Oil Stadium from Feb. 22-28, four will be former Orange players
SU Athletics announced Wednesday that defensive end Chandler Jones, tight end Nick Provo, safety Phillip Thomas and offensive lineman Andrew Tiller were all invited to the 2012 NFL Combine. The event, which occurs every year before the NFL Draft, is set to be held in Indianapolis from Feb. 22-28 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
News and notes on Syracuse's Week 2 victory over Rhode Island.
- My recap of Saturday’s game, which was previewed as a blowout in the making but turned into a hard-won 21-14 Orange victory over the Rhode Island Rams.
- Attendance at the game was billed as 36,421, which seemed high considering the number of empty seats in the Carrier Dome.
