Capt. Greg Durso stood on Syracuse’s sideline just more than an hour before the Orange played No. 1 Clemson. He and SFC Shane Hankey made their rounds behind the white lines, now guests in SU’s home. Durso has hosted the players and coaches at his, Fort Drum, but Saturday was his chance to be a fan for a change.
“That’s the partnership, right?” Durso said, “That we show them what we do as our team, the army, and they’re showing us what they do here.”
Syracuse has ventured to the upstate New York military base the last four summers, advancing a partnership with the soldiers that started in 2012.
