Syracuse football: first down offense vs Virginia Tech

Related Topics: Syracuse, Virginia Tech

The Syracuse Orange offense had an October that was as exciting as getting raisins on Halloween. As we head into the final month of the season, the bowl hopes can only be fulfilled if this group figures out how to move the ball.

This was the second game in a row where Syracuse got the ball first and had a sack on the opening play. Over the last three road games, the Orange gained one first down total on their opening possession and when they’ve gotten their second possession in the four losses, they’ve been trailing.
