Forget Bowl Bound: The Syracuse Orange looked like a team that’ll be playing in January.
OK, that’s a little exaggeration, but they did do something remarkable today. The Orange scored 37 unanswered points in the first half and never slowed down en route to a 65-0 slaughter of the Colgate Raiders.
The last time they shut out their CNY comrades? That fateful fall of 1959.
The Orange forced a three-and-out to start the game, but some early penalty issues stopped their own first drive before it ever really began. Colgate nearly went three-and-out again but were gifted a first down thanks to two more SU penalties.
