Syracuse football opens its 2021 home slate with a battle versus former Big East foe Rutgers.

Syracuse football, despite being a slight underdog, went on the road this past Saturday night and took down a solid Ohio team, 29-9, from Peden Stadium in Athens, Ohio.

Sophomore running back Sean Tucker was nothing short of fabulous, as he rushed for a career-high 181 yards and a touchdown. A beleaguered offensive line from last year looked pretty darn good in the 2021 season opener.

The Orange defense gave up nearly 350 yards of total offense to Ohio, which is a member of the Mid-American Conference.
