Syracuse Orange
Syracuse has had a successful start to the season, winning their first four games against three opponents smaller than them and one with a rough year. However they started their ACC play on a misfortune as they were unable to take down two of the biggest powerhouses, Clemson and UNC. Syracuse QB Garrett Shrader has been successful in passing this season with 212 passing yards per game on 64.6% completion percentage and 8-5 TD-INT ratio. He has not been as successful in the ACC games, throwing less than 180 yards both times. He and running back LeQuint Allen are a threat on the ground, both backs being able to carry the ball with success. Umari Hatcher is the team’s top receiver with 51.7 receiving yards average per game. Syracuse’s best weapon still remains sidelined with a Lisfranc injury, tight end Oronde Gadsden II being unable to join them. Syracuse averages 33.0 points per game in the ACC while they only allow 19.0 points per game defensively. Linebacker Marlowe Wax leads the team in tackles with 45 and two sacks under his belt. The Orange have 12 takeaways from six different players.
