Syracuse Strong overcome questionable officiating in Week 5 win vs Troy

Usually, a handicap match in WWE is when two opponents face off vs one guy. It’s obviously an unfair advantage in favor of the multi-team squad.

Well, the overall sentiment following the Week 5 matchup between the Syracuse Strong and the Troy Fighting Irish from fans, players and coaches is they experienced a WWE handicap match.

Syracuse didn’t just get the win vs Troy, they apparently also got the win vs the referees. Multiple players and team personnel within the Strong were not pleased with how the game was called.

On top of that factoid, Syracuse was on the road and played in their toughest game of the season.
