Syracuse marched to a surprising week one win against Louisville behind two interceptions from the defense and a dominant offensive effort led by the newly installed passing game. Garrett Shrader threw for 236 yards and two touchdowns, while Atlantic Coast Conference Running back of the Week Sean Tucker garnered 184 scrimmage yards and a touchdown.

The Orange now head to UConn, igniting an old Big East rivalry with the Huskies, who enter without their starting quarterback and top receiver.
