Syracuse football: it’s ok to have a fun opener

Related Topics: Syracuse, Donovan Brown

The Syracuse Orange easily took care of the Colgate Raiders yesterday. Almost all of us expected it would be an easy win, but 65-0? That was an impressive performance-especially from the defense.

It wasn’t a pretty start to the game but once Syracuse got into a rhythm, the mistakes were minimal. Shrader threw a bad pick, Justin Barron missed a PAT snap and Braden Davis coughed up a fumble. No one’s saying that there isn’t plenty for Dino Babers and staff to work on when they watch film later today.

The flip side of that is we saw a lot of Orange players finding their first bit of success and isn’t that something we could enjoy for at least the first 24 hours after the win?
