Brandon Harris took a snap out of the shotgun and less than two seconds later was lying on the Carrier Dome turf with 5-foot-8, 175-pound Antwan Cordy staring down at him. Two plays later, Cordy forced a pass destined for the hands of Malchi Dupre to the ground, capping of an LSU three-and-out.
The sophomore safety carried his weight on an afternoon when the rest of the Syracuse secondary didn’t. Wayne Morgan, Chauncey Scissum and Rodney Williams were left chasing Leonard Fournette. Julian Whigham had the two most costly mistakes of the game in the fourth quarter. But Cordy, all in his compact stature, led the Orange (3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) in tackles and tackles for loss in a 34-24 loss to No.
