A WIN WOULD … • Improve Syracuse's overall record to 8-2, tying the 1998 team for the most regular-season victories since the 1997 squad fi nished the regular season 9-3.

POINTS A PLENTY• In Year 3 of the Dino Babers era, the Syracuse off ense is hi ng its stride, as the Orange opened 2018 with three 50+ point performances in their fi rst four games and has hit the half-century mark in four of their nine contests. • Syracuse currently ranks eighth in the na on and second in the ACC in scoring off ense at 43.3 points per game.• Should Syracuse keep up its current pace, the 2018 team's scoring average would be the modern era school record and rank second all- me behind the 1904 squad's 45.0 points per contest.• This season marks the fi rst me since 1904 that Syracuse has scored 50+ points four mes in the same campaign. • The Orange have six 40+ point games, the most in the school history.• In the Wagner victory on Sept. 15, Syracuse ed the program record for points in a half a er jumping out to a 45-7 lead at the break.

Houston's D'Eriq King (12) and Georgia Tech's Tobias Oliver (12) top the list, while Georgia Southern's Shai Werts is ed with Dungey.• Against UConn, Syracuse racked up 341 yards on the ground, the most under head coach Dino Babers and the highest team running total since the Orange gained 370 yards in 2014 versus Maryland.

DUAL THREAT• QB Eric Dungey is one of four ac ve FBS quarterbacks with more than 7,000 career passing yards and 1,000 career rushing yards. In fact, only those four quarterbacks na onally even have 6,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards.• Dungey's 295.4 career yards of total off ense per game is fourth among ac ve players who have appeared in at least 15 games. Ole Miss' Jordan Ta'amu (306.5) leads the con ngent, followed by UCF's Mckenzie Milton (304.1) and West Virginia's Will Grier (299.4).

LEAVING HIS MARK• QB Eric Dungey is des ned to leave Syracuse as one of the most sta s cally accomplished players in program history. He currently holds or shares 16 team records (see right).• In addi on to those marks, he's closing in on more. His 729 career comple ons are second all- me at Syracuse, trailing only Ryan Nassib (791), and his 8,473 career passing yards are also second to Nassib (9,190).• Dungey's 61.6 percent career comple on percentage places him second in that category, behind Greg Paulus (.677) who played just one season for the Orange in 2009.• Dungey has 53 career touchdown passes. Only Nassib (70) and Donovan McNabb (77) are ahead of him.

ORANGE AMONG MOST EXPERIENCED O-LINES• Syracuse's off ensive linemen boast 145 career starts, not including redshirt senior Koda Mar n's start at ght end when he was a sophomore at Texas A&M. That number ranks third in the ACC and is ed for eighth na onally. Wisconsin (196) leads the FBS, while Wake Forest (181) tops the conference.• Redshirt junior G Evan Adams and senior OT Cody Conway own the most with 29 starts apiece. • Conway has started 26 games in a row at le tackle.• In 2017, Syracuse started the same front fi ve in all 12 games. The fi rst unit of Adams, Conway C Airon Servais, G Sam Heckel and OT Jamar McGloster played together for all but 20 snaps over the course of the season. • McGloster departed, while Syracuse welcomed back G Aaron Roberts, who missed all of last year due to an off season knee injury. • Overall, the 2018 Syracuse squad has six players (Conway, Roberts, Servais, Adams, Heckel and Mar n) with at least a season's worth of the starts in the ACC or SEC. That level of experience is nearly unprecedented at Syracuse. The Orange had not returned fi ve players with at least one year of star ng experience since 1989, when Syracuse retained Mike Bernard, Gary McCummings, John Flannery, Blake Bednarz and Turnell Simms from a 1988 squad that went 10-2 and fi nished No. 13 in the AP poll.• The front fi ve have proved their worth this season, paving the way for an off ense that ranks eighth in scoring (43.3) and 15th in total off ense (478.2).

THREE WITH MORE THAN 1,000• Junior RB Moe Neal became the 45th player in Syracuse history to reach 1,000 career rushing yards with his 71-yard eff ort against Wagner on Sept. 8. He currently has 1,402 rushing yards, joining teammates QB Eric Dungey (1,867) and RB Dontae Strickland (1,483) in crossing the 1,000-yard threshhold for their careers. • Syracuse is one of fi ve FBS schools with three ac ve 1,000-yard rushers on their roster. Ball State, Georgia Tech, SMU and Clemson are the others.

DUNGEY THE RUNNER• In 2017, QB Eric Dungey became the fi rst signal-caller since Don McPherson in 1986 to lead the Orange in rushing.

NOTED IMPROVEMENT• In Year 3 of Brian Ward's system, the Orange defense has made strides in several key sta s cal categories (see right).• Syracuse saw major growth during the fi rst nine games of 2017 when the Orange were one of the most improved units in the country, and Ward received a nomina on for the Broyles Award as college football's top assistant coach. However, three subpar performances over the fi nal three games skewed the 2017 sta s cs.• In 2018, Ward's unit is experiencing another spike in produc on, par culary in the takeaway department where the Orange have surpassed their 2017 total of 12 by nine. The Orange are also averaging nearly two sacks per game more than they did last year. Syracuse has 27 sacks a er tallying 16 all of last season.

THIRD-DOWN DEFENSE• Syracuse has been stellar on third down the past two seasons. The Orange fi nished 2017 ranked 13th na onally in the category, and their strong performance in 2018 has moved them to No. 3 over the last two seasons in all of FBS football.• In the team's seven wins, the Orange have held opponents to a combined 28-of-98 (.286) on third down. • In the losses to Clemson and Pi , the Tigers and Panthers combined to go 8-for-27 (.296).• Against Florida State, Syracuse did not allow a third-down conversion un l the fourth quarter and forced 10 FSU punts on 14 possessions.• The Orange are averaging 5.55 three-and-outs per game, ed with Miami (Fla.) for seventh na onally. Syracuse has recorded a three-and-out on 36.8 percent of its drives defended (50-136).

SYRACUSE SACK EXCHANGE• Syracuse is averaging three sacks per game this season, which ranks 16th na onally and es Miami (Fla.) for third in the ACC.• DE Kendall Coleman and DE Alton Robinson are ed with one another for fourth in the ACC with seven

apiece. The duo's 14 combined sacks are second to Boston College's Wya Ray (9.0) and Zach Allen (5.5) for the most by a set of league teammates.• In addi on to Robinson and Coleman, DE Kingsley Jonathan (2.5), LB Ryan Guthrie (2.0), DB Evan Foster (2.0), DT Chris Slayton (2.0) and LB Kielan Whitner (1.5) also have mul ple sacks on the year.

TAKETH AWAY• A er going the fi nal eight games of 2017 without an intercep on, Syracuse has tripled its en re season total from a year ago (4) with 12 intercep ons thus far.• Syracuse ranks 16th na onally and trails Boston College (13) and Miami (13) for the ACC lead.• The Orange have a pick in every game this season• DB Andre Cisco (4), CB Christopher Fredrick (3), LB Kielan Whitner (1), DL/LB Tyrell Richards (1), DB Trill Williams (1), DB Evan Foster (1) and LB Andrew Armstrong (1) all have intercep ons.• Syracuse is +12 in turnover margin on the year (best in the ACC) and have turned their opponent miscues into 74 points. Orange opponent points off turnovers are 23.• The Orange own a current streak of 10 consecu ve games with a takeaway da ng back to the 2017 fi nale versus Boston College. It's the 12th-longest ac ve takeway streak in the na on and the second-longest in the ACC. UCF's 27-game streak tops the na onal list, while Clemson is second with a turnover gained in 17 consecu ve contests.

THE 'CISCO KID'• Freshman DB Andre Cisco is ed for fourth on the FBS leaderboard with four intercep ons this season.• Cisco, Caden Sterns of Texas, Oregon's Jevon Holland and Texas Tech's Adrian Frye are the only other freshmen na onally with four picks.• In addi on, Cisco is fi h in the ACC in passes defended at 1.11 per game. He is ed for second among all FBS freshmen with 10 passes defended (4 INT, 6 PBU). Frye (4 INT, 12 PBU) leads all rookies with 16.
