Syracuse Strong: Joshua Thomas, Kahari Alford earn Week 3 MVP honors

For the first time ever, two players earned co-MVP honors following a thrilling 21-0 victory for the Syracuse Strong over the Upstate Predators. The Voice of the Syracuse Strong, Paul ‘Boy Green’ Esden, spoke to both players after the game.

First, off we’ll start with some history, the Strong defense held the Upstate Predators scoreless in Week 3 for the first time in 2019, but it wasn’t as perfect as it seemed. Upstate was able to move the ball in between the 20s, but once they got into the red zone, they weren’t able to convert.

A lot of players stepped up to the plate, but one rose above the rest: defensive lineman Kahari Alford.
