Move over, Joe Morris. You've got some company in Sean Tucker.

Tucker rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as the Orange (1-2, 1-1 ACC) raced out to a 17-0 lead and thumped Atlantic Coast Conference foe Georgia Tech (1-2, 1-1 ACC) 37-20 to win their first game of the season in the first game at the renovated Carrier Dome.

Quarterback Tommy DeVito tossed touchdown passes of 43 and 46 yards, and the Syracuse defense notched four interceptions and one spectacular touchdown as the Orange christened their home stadium that underwent a $118 million renovation that includes a new roof, lighting and sound improvements, a center-hung scoreboard, new turf and improved accessibility.
