In 10 FBS games this season, Syracuse’s offense has produced six scoreless first-quarters. It had two scoreless first halves, and another with just three points.

On opening drives in 10 games, SU failed to score touchdowns on seven occasions. Three such drives have been three-and-outs.

The Orange’s most points in the first quarter (nine) came in the season-opener against Ohio, but beyond that, they haven’t put up more than one score during the first frame this year.
