SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Freshman running back Jawhar Jordan gave Syracuse fans a glimpse of what the future may hold yesterday at Cardinal Stadium.

The rookie accumulated a career-best 223 all-purpose yards on 12 touches against Louisville, an average of 18.6 yards per play. The performance dwarfed Jordan's 83 all-purpose yards (70 rushing, 13 receiving) he compiled in his three previous appearances this season.

Good things seemed to happen each time the Hamilton (Ariz.) High School product had the ball in his hands. Jordan returned three kickoffs for 101 yards, caught two passes for 87 yards, and rushed seven times for 35 yards.
