AROUND THE ACC



FASTER• The Orange have already returned to their blistering pace on off ense in their fi rst two games of the 2017 season. In each of its fi rst contests of the year, Syracuse ran 93 plays on off ense.• The team’s 93 off ensive snaps against Central Connec cut State and Middle Tennessee ranks 10th in program single-game history. Six of the 14 highest play counts at Syracuse have come during head coach Dino Babers’ tenure.• Since Babers’ arrival in 2016, Syracuse has run at least 90 plays in a game on six occasions. The Orange own a 2-4 overall record in such instances, defea ng Central Connec cut State and Virginia Tech, while suff ering losses to Louisville, Middle Tennessee, Pi sburgh and USF.• In the season opener against Central Connec cut State, Syracuse eclipsed the 500-yard mark in total off ense for the sixth me under Babers. The Orange tout a 4-2 overall mark when reaching that plateau, bea ng Boston College, Central Connec cut State, Colgate, and Virginia Tech, while losing to Pi sburgh and USF.

THE SYSTEM WORKS• Known for his innova ve, ultra-fast off ense, head coach Dino Babers planted the seeds of Syracuse’s revival in 2016 and the program immediately began reaping the rewards. He commanded an off ense that set or ed more than 40 school records, including new program standards for passing a empts (522), pass comple ons (332) and passing yards (3,855). In addi on, Syracuse racked up 5,290 yards of off ense, the second-highest total in school history.• In his fi ve full seasons as a head coach (2012-16), Babers’ off enses generated 32,910 total yards in 66 games. That is the equivalent of 18.7 miles!• In three of those years, Babers’ unit ranked in the top 10 na onally in total off ense, including 2013 when his Eastern Illinois squad led all of Division I (FBS and FCS) with 8,253 yards. The only Division I team to average more yards per game than EIU’s 589.5 in 2013 was Baylor (618.8).

ORANGE IS THE NEW FAST• Head coach Dino Babers brought his high-octane off ensive scheme to Syracuse when he was named the program’s head coach in December 2015 and the Orange experienced an immediate jump in tempo.• In 2016, Syracuse ran 971 off ensive plays, averaging 80.9 snaps per game. By comparison, the Orange totaled 751 off ensive snaps and averaged 62.6 plays per game in 2015.• Syracuse set the ACC single-game record for most plays in its 2016 season fi nale at Pi sburgh. The Orange ran 106 plays (45 rushing, 61 passing) for 668 yards (6.3 avg). The total surpassed the previous conference standard established by Maryland in 1992 against NC State.• Of the four highest play counts in school history, three came in 2016 (Pi sburgh – 106, USF – 105, Virginia Tech – 100).

NOT JUST QUANTITY• Syracuse accumulated 3,855 yards through the air in 2016, a single-season program record. To add to that accomplishment, the Orange was accurate as well, recording a .636 comple on percentage, which ranks second in school history. • The team got off on the right foot last year, se ng a school single-game record by comple ng 87 percent of its passes in the opener against Colgate. It surpassed the previous high, which was set when the Orange completed 16-of-19 throws against Army in 1996.• Syracuse completed 32-of-38 pass a empts at Boston College, connec ng on more than 84 percent of its passes. It marked the Orange’s best performance in an ACC game and ed for second overall in program history.• According to ESPN.com’s David Hale, quarterback Eric Dungey was among the most effi cient beyond the line of scrimmage in 2016. Dungey ranked second among Power-Five quarterbacks in comple on percentage beyond the line of scrimmage, hi ng on more than 64 percent of his throws. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfi eld led the na on with a 65 percent comple on percentage.• Dungey returned to his accurate ways in the opener against Central Connec cut State, comple ng his fi rst 13 passes. It marked the second straight season he hit on 13 straight throws to begin a campaign. The third-year signal caller fi nished 28-of-36 for 328 yards and three touchdowns against the Blue Devils.

DEFENSE SMOTHERS CCSU• Coordinator Brian Ward’s unit was eager to erase the memory of last year’s fi nale in which it surrendered 76 points and 644 yards to Pi sburgh and did so by limi ng CCSU to 167 total yards (113 passing, 54 rushing). CCSU’s longest run was a 9-yard gain on third-and-10 in the second quarter and the Blue Devils managed just 1.8 yards a carry on 30 rushing a empts. • Collec vely, the Syracuse defense forced the Blue Devils to punt 12 mes, one short of the Orange opponent record (13 by Holy Cross in 1968), and posted 12 three-and-outs on 16 CCSU possessions. The Orange limited Central Connec cut State to just eight fi rst downs in the game, the fewest ever against a Dino Babers-coached team. The Blue Devils were 1-for-15 on third down, including 0-of-8 to start the game.• Perhaps more impressively, Syracuse did not allow the Blue Devils to enter the red zone the en re game. In fact, CCSU only crossed the 50-yard line twice on drives that started in its own territory. The only points for the Blue Devils came on a 24-yard TD pass from Jake Dolegala to Jose Garcia at the 11:15 make in the third quarter. Following the touchdown, the Orange forced fi ve consecu ve punts and a turnover on CCSU’s next six possessions.

TACKLING TANDEM• Linebackers Parris Benne and Zaire Franklin each eclipsed the 100-tackle mark a year ago. Benne tallied a team-best 110 stops, while Franklin made 101. It marked the fi rst me mul ple Orange defenders notched 100 tackles since 2003.• Benne became the fi rst Syracuse to player to break the 100-tackle mark since Derrell Smith notched 114 stops in 2010. Benne ranked third in the ACC and 30th na onally in tackles per game (9.2). His best eff ort came against Notre Dame last season when he tallied 17 stops, the most by an Orange player since Jerry Mackey had 17 tackles at Virginia in 2004.• Franklin earned 2016 All-ACC accolades from both the coaches and media. He paced the club with 10 tackles for loss and ranked sixth in the conference a er notching 8.4 tackles per ou ng. Benne was an All-ACC Honorable Men on choice by the media who cover the league.

GRADUATE TRANSFER TRIO• Last season, wide receiver Amba E a-Tawo was the Orange’s star graduate transfer, authoring the most prolifi c receiving season in team history in his one year on campus. • This year, Syracuse added three graduate transfers, all on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive backs Devin M. Butler, Jordan Mar n and linebacker Aus n Valdez joined the Orange for the 2017 campaign. All three are contributors and have ascended to at least second on the depth chart at their respec ve posi ons.• Butler played in 37 games for Notre Dame from 2013-16, notching 39 tackles, seven passes defended, and one intercep on. Mar n saw ac on in 34 contests for Toledo the past four years, recording 74 tackles and 11 pass breakups. A 2015 All-MAC First Team selec on, Valdez logged 222 tackles in 37 games played at Bowling Green from 2014-16.

DEFENSE INTO OFFENSE• Last season, cornerback Cordell Hudson returned an intercep on 22 yards for a touchdown at Connec cut. It marked the third straight year that at least one Syracuse defender recorded a pick-six.• In the past 37 games, the Orange have tallied nine defensive touchdowns.

TFLs ARE UP• Syracuse is averaging eight tackles for loss through the fi rst two games, compared to 4.8 per game in 2016.• Eleven defenders so far have been credited with at least a half a tackle for loss. Defensive end Josh Black leads the way with three.

HOFRICHTER ADDED TO RAY GUY WATCH LIST• Redshirt sophomore punter Sterling Hofrichter was added to the watch list for the 2017 Ray Guy Award on Sept. 8. The award is presented to the na on’s top punter.• Hofrichter is averaging 41.1 yards per punt on seven kicks this season, including three placed inside the 20-yard line. Of his seven punts only two have been returned. Four have been fair caught.• In 2016, Hofrichter earned Freshman All-America and All-ACC honors when he fi nished second na onally among rookies in pun ng average (42.7) and equaled Virginia’s Nicholas Conte for the conference lead with 23 punts of 50+ yards.

Northwestern paces the country with 18.

UNDEFEATED AND UNFORGOTTEN• Thirty years ago, the Syracuse football team made history fi nishing the regular season with an 11-0 record and tying Auburn in the Sugar Bowl to close with an 11-0-1 record. The ‘87 Orange became the second ‘Cuse gridiron squad to go undefeated, joining the 1959 na onal champions in that elite club.• The ‘87 Orange fi nished fourth in both the Associated Press and UPI Coaches Poll, while head coach Dick MacPherson was honored as the na onal coach of the year by mul ple organiza ons. The Orange rolled through the compe on, bea ng the likes of Penn State, Missouri, Navy, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and West Virginia en route to an 11-0 regular-season mark. The Orange ed Auburn in the 1988 Sugar Bowl when Tigers coach Pat Dye elected to kick a 30-yard fi eld goal in the fi nal seconds instead of going for the end zone.• A 1987 unanimous All-American, quarterback Don McPherson was one of six 1988 Syracuse NFL Dra selec ons and served as a team captain. All-America defensive tackle Ted Gregory and defensive end Paul Frase were co-captains. In all, 20 players from the squad were dra ed into the NFL.• McPherson, who was the runner-up in the Heisman Trophy vo ng, set 22 school records.
