Hey Nas: Syracuse Picks Up Commitment From Camillus RB/DB Nas Howard
With another ugly weekend for Syracuse hoops, Naesean “Naes” Howard’s commitment to the Orange was a bright spot. Scott Shafer is ahead of last year’s pace. Howard’s verbal is the first for SU in the 2014 class, a feat the Orange did not achieve last year until May.

Rich Barnes, USA Today
Three strikes and you’re out, West Virginia. That was the Orange motto this past week leading up to the 38-14 beat down of the Mountaineers in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium.

Syracuse had a much better gameplan for...
Syracuse Mauls WVU, 38-14, Pinstripe Bowl: 3 Things We Learned
Many experts predicted combined point totals of over 100 in this year's New Era Pinstripe Bowl between Syracuse and West Virginia. There was just one problem: only one offense showed up.

Syracuse 38, West Virginia 14: Mountaineers end season with fitting Pinstripe Bowl loss

Smith leading a Syracuse running game revival
When Syracuse decided to go to a no-huddle offense before the start of the season, the Orange lost its focus. The run became an afterthought.
But after falling to 2-4 and with the season slipping away despite a stout aerial attack, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett decided the run was the missing link.
Since a bad loss at Rutgers - four turnovers and a blocked field goal...

Despite coming off its biggest comeback in school history against USF, Syracuse dropped a winnable game to Cincinnati 35-24. SU misses a golden opportunity to come in and steal one from the Bearcats, having led the game going into halftime. So much for nabbing the first three-game winning streak in the Doug Marrone era. The road to the post season just got even...
Syracuse “Romeing” Tampa: Why Jerome Smith Should Punish USF Tonight
Star Tribune
Syracuse RB Jerome Smith defines “Romeing” differently than most of us. He’s not drifting aimlessly on the football field, as in “roaming.” Nope, Jerome aka ‘Rome, describes it to The Fizz as straight up bowling over defenders on that Carrier Dome turf.
“It’s an angry game, you got to be mad to play this game. My goal right now is to make people pay...
Syracuse finds balanced attack at critical time
(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.) By JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer Thumb through the Syracuse media guide to the records section, and it's no surprise the first three pages are devoted to rushing.

Week 7 Fizz Five: Making Sure the UConn Win is Not West Virginia ’11 2.0
CT Post
Paul Pasqualoni hoped UConn could come into the Carrier Dome and steal one on the road against a turnover-prone Syracuse team. Not so fast. The Orange turned in its most complete game of the season and handed UConn a good ol’ fashion ass-whooping. SU dominated in all three phases of the game and managed to commit no turnovers. We’ve known the talent has been there, and...

Knee-Jerk Reaction: Syracuse Football Loses Again, 17-10 at Minnesota
Yahoo Sports
Syracuse loses 17-10 at Minnesota, here’s The Fizz’s knee-jerk reaction:
Let’s face it, the game was lost on 2nd and goal from the 1-yard line late in the 3rd quarter. Back-to-back pass interference calls led to a 1st-and-goal on the 1, as the Orange trailed 14-3. Jerome Smith was stopped on first down for no gain on what appeared to be a trap play. On 2nd-and...
