In Taj Harris’ final game with Syracuse, the Orange threw for their lowest passing yardage of the season. Quarterback Garrett Shrader made his first start of the season, completing just six passes for 77 yards. His longest completion went only 19 yards. SU still beat Liberty that night, 24-21, behind a strong rushing attack and defensive performance.

Not only was the Liberty game the last time Syracuse won before its win over Virginia Tech on Saturday, but it was also the last game before its top wide receiver, Harris, entered the transfer portal.
