Our first live game thread of the season with the new forums! Hope you all will hang out and discuss the game as it happens with me.
Live Game Thread: Syracuse vs Rutgers
- Thread starter MikeMcAllister
- Start date
Syracuse is in its traditional home (orange helmet, blue jersey, orange pants) uniforms today. Rutgers in special 9/11 uniforms that are all white with silver helmets.
Garrett Williams was out warming up with the team. Moved very well. Expect him to be a full go today.
No Malcolm Folk today. The Freshman safety was on the sidelines without pads and in sweats.
Did he play at all vs Ohio?
Do not believe so.
Rutgers wins the toss and elects to defer. Syracuse will start with the ball.
Kickoff goes out of the end zone. Touchback. Syracuse starts at the 25.
After a first down on two plays, Syracuse punts. DeVito had an intentional grounding then threw well wide of an open Queeley. On the punt, Rutgers blocks it and recovers inside the SU 20. Terrible start.

They should have been working on this all week
Syracuse defense comes up HUGE for the Orange. After an OPI pushed Rutgers back, Okechukwu gets a third down sack forcing a long FG attempt. Rutgers bobbles the snap or maybe wanted to fake, but the holder is tackled and Syracuse takes over at its own 43. Craziness already.
Now why you do a silly thing like that?
Syracuse is moving the ball well this drive behind the power running game. DeVito also hit Harris on a slant and Tucker out of the backfield. Third and 8 from the Rutgers 16 coming up for the Orange.
DeVito finds Harris on a slant and gets close to the marker. They call a fumble and Rutgers recovers. Everyone who saw a replay said it was clearly down but I didn't get a look. They didn't show it in the Dome.
