Final score: Syracuse 24, Liberty 21

The Syracuse Orange put together an interesting first half against the Liberty Flames, but there were questions even with a 14-7 lead. Things were looking up when the Orange made a stop coming out of the half and then punched in a touchdown to extend the lead to 21-7 in the third quarter.

And then the rest of the game happened. And Syracuse miraculously pulled off 24-21 win (an upset according to Vegas, but obviously the narrative would never support that).

The game was defined in large part by the surprising decision to start Garrett Shrader at quarterback over Tommy DeVito.
