Syracuse football: Week 4 grades vs Virginia

Didn’t expect this one to be this close, huh?

The Syracuse Orange barely scraped past the Virginia Cavaliers to win a Friday night primetime game 22-20. The Orange now sit at 4-0 on the season, though the road to get here has been anything but conventional.

That remains true for this game. Let’s go through the grades now, shall we?

Quarterbacks: B-

Quietly, Garrett Shrader had 277 yards on 22-33 passing. If this was last season’s team, you’d take those numbers in a heartbeat.
