Syracuse football: Another slow start dooms the Orange as they fall to No. 4 Florida State 41-3

The Syracuse Orange came in as massive underdogs this afternoon, and those projections stood up as SU was outplayed by the No. 4 Florida State Seminoles in a 41-3 loss.

SU’s offense struggled to get anything going in the first quarter, beginning the afternoon in Tallahassee with a three-and-out.

The Seminoles’ first possession was the complete opposite: a nine-play, 80-yard drive featuring both a spectacular one-handed catch by Keon Coleman and a finishing rush up the gut by Jordan Travis.

Alijah Clark forced a fumble during the drive, but the defense couldn’t get to the ball in time and FSU recovered.
