Syracuse Football: Rushing attack leads the way for Orange

Related Topics: lineman

The Syracuse football squad defeated Central Michigan on Saturday in the Carrier Dome before a crowd of 33,000 and change.

The Orange got off to a slow start on the offensive side of the football, but turned it on in the third quarter in an impressive way by running the ball.

The Orange racked up 300 yards of offense on the ground, the most in the Dino Babers era. However, it was not Syracuse starting running back Dontae Strickland that broke off long runs, it was other players that stepped up for Syracuse.
