Syracuse football: Orange dominate Colgate to open 2023 season

The Syracuse Orange season opened with some sloppy play, but then the team settled in and rolled to a 65-0 win over the Colgate Raiders.

It took a couple of possessions for Syracuse to take over as we all anticipated. LeQuint Allen got the Orange on the board with 3-yard run. Allen did the work with a 35-yard run on the drive, going off the right side to get the offense moving. A long D’Marcus Allen punt return set Syracuse up and they cashed in when Garrett Shrader found Damien Alford. Then, Jeremiah Wilson quickly made it a 20-0 game when he grabbed the interception and returned it to the house.
