We all thought that this would get ugly fast - and boy is that an understatement. The Syracuse Orange didn’t fool around against the Wagner Seahawks, dominating them in all facets of play and concluding the Dome-coming game in just 50 game-minutes. (Confused? Don’t worry, I’ll explain later.)
Syracuse started their first drive with great field position thanks to a late hit on return-man Trebor Pena. Garrett Shrader led a 55-yard drive capped off by a one-yard TD run, putting SU up 7-0 early. Sean Tucker almost had the game’s first points but was stopped just short on back-to-back runs before Shrader took it in himself.
