ORANGE IS THE NEW FAST 1 FOOTBALL 1959 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS // 5 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS // 18 CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICANS SEASON REVIEW • Syracuse was 5-7 overall in Dino Babers' fourth season as head coach. The Orange were 3-1 in non-conference play, including a season-opening shutout at Liberty. They won two of their last three games, however, a four-game losing streak in the middle of the season caused the team to just miss bowl eligibility. • Redshirt senior P Sterling Hofrichter earned All-America honors from seven dierent media outlets and organizaƟons. A 2019 Ray Guy Award nalist, Hofrichter ranked third in the FBS with a 43.03 net punƟng average. He was a key component for an Orange punt coverage team that set the program single-season record for fewest punt return yards allowed (17). • Six members of the Orange received All-ACC honors from the league: Hofrichter (rst team), S Andre Cisco (second team), WR Trishton Jackson (second team), PK Andre Szmyt (third team), LB Lakiem Williams (third team) and DE Alton Robinson (honorable menƟon). • Syracuse ranked in the top 25 naƟonally in eight staƟsƟcal categories in 2019: net punƟng (3rd - 43.03), punt return defense (5th - 1.7), fourth-down defense (11th - 36.8 pct.), fumbles recovered (11th - 12), turnovers gained (12th - 25), turnover margin (13th - 0.75), passes had intercepted (25th - 7) and passes intercepted (25th - 13). HOFRICHTER COLLECTS ALL-AMERICA HONORS • Following a standout senior season, P Sterling Hofrichter was named to seven All-America teams (Pro Football Focus - 1, Bleacher Report - 1, FWAA - 2, USA Today - 2, Phil Steele - 2, Associated Press - 3, Athlon - 3). • Syracuse's all-Ɵme leader in punƟng yardage, Hofrichter was the Ōh player to earn All- America honors in Dino Babers' four years as head coach. By comparison, the Orange had one All-American in the four seasons before Babers' arrival. • AddiƟonally, by being named to the All-ACC First Team for the second year in a row, Hofrichter became the rst Syracuse player to earn mulƟple rst-team all-conference awards since the Orange joined the league in 2013. INTERCEPTION-FREE • From Sept. 28 against Holy Cross to Nov. 30 against Wake Forest, Syracuse went 202 passes without throwing an intercepƟon, including a streak of 167 throws by starƟng QB Tommy DeVito. The Orange's team intercepƟonless streak ended when backup QB Clayton Welch was picked oin the rst quarter against the Demon Deacons. • DeVito nished the campaign with a personal intercepƟon-free stretch of 170 throws, which is the third-longest among acƟve FBS signal-callers entering the 2020 season. In the Syracuse annals, DeVito's streak ranks second to only R.J. Anderson (190 from 2002-03). • The last DeVito intercepƟon happened on his nal throw versus Holy Cross. Over the last seven games of 2019, the redshirt sophomore completed 62.9 percent (107-170) of his passes for 1,126 yards and eight touchdowns.

Prior to the vote, captains rotated on a game-by-game basis.• Hofrichter was voted captain for the third me.

DOME-INATION• Syracuse is 9-3 in the last two years at home, including a 3-3 record in 2019.• The Orange were undefeated at the Dome in 2018, going 6-0 in the building. The 2018 campaign was SU's fourth perfect home season since the Dome opened in 1980. The three previous unbeaten Dome campaigns (all 6-0) were in 1987, 1988 and 2001.• Under Dino Babers, Syracuse is 15-10 in the Dome. Home success has been a staple at all three of his coaching stops, with Babers' teams combining to go 33-15 when defending their home fi eld.

HOME NON-CONFERENCE SUCCESS• The Orange fi nished 2-0 at home versus non-conference opponents in 2019. Syracuse defeated Western Michigan 52-33 on Sept. 21 and Holy Cross 41-3 on Sept. 28.• The victories boosted Syracuse's record to 7-2 in their nine home non-league games under Dino Babers, including fi ve straight victories. • Under Babers, Syracuse has outscored its non-conference opponents at the Dome, 373-170.• The Orange have not lost a non-ACC game at home since Sept. 9, 2017 when they were beaten 30-23 by Middle Tennessee.

BABERS CROSSES THE CENTURY MARK• Head coach Dino Babers coached the 100th game of his career on Nov. 16 at Duke. In his eight seasons as a sideline leader at Eastern Illinois, Bowling Green and Syracuse, Babers has worked 102 games and holds an overall record of 60-42 (.588).• Babers has coached 49 games in his four-year Syracuse s nt.

GAME NOTES: TEAM

PACKED HOUSE• A raucous crowd of 50,428 fans were on hand for Syracuse's home opener versus top-ranked Clemson on Sept. 14. It was the ninth Dome sellout for football and the eighth gathering of 50,000+ in the stadium's history, which dates back to 1980.• The game marked the fi rst me Syracuse sold out a conference game as either a member of the BIG EAST or ACC.

MASSIVE MARGIN• Syracuse's 43-point victory at Duke (49-6) on Nov. 16 was the largest margin of victory for the Orange over a conference opponent since joining the ACCin 2013.• It was also the largest margin of victory for the Orange against an FBS foe since a 63-7 win over Buff alo on Sept. 2, 2000.• It had been more than two decades since the Orange won by that much on the road. Not since a 50-3 triumph at Rutgers on Oct. 9, 1997 hadSyracuse returned home with a win by that large a cushion.

ELITE COMPANY• Redshirt sophomore QB Tommy DeVito was one of seven Power-Five quarterbacks with 19+ touchdown passes and fi ve or fewer intercep ons.• DeVito and Louisville signal-caller Micale Cunningham were the only two ACC passers in that elite group.• DeVito's 19 scoring passes ed Donovan McNabb (1996) and Ryan Nassib (2010) for the most by a sophomore in program history.

GAME SUMMARIES

LYNCHBURG, Va. – No. 22 Syracuse (1-0) smothered Liberty (0-1) by the score of 24-0 at Williams Stadium in the first meeting between the two teams. The Orange defense registered eight sacks, four takeaways and held the Flames to minus-4 yards rushing. Defensive linemen Kendall Coleman and Josh Black had two sacks apiece to lead the charge, and Syracuse’s eight quarterback sacks were one short of the school record. Running backs Moe Neal, Abdul Adams and Jarveon Howard all scored rushing touchdowns. The shutout was the 44th for the Orange in a season-opening game and the first for the team in a true road game since a 24-0 blanking of Tulane in 1991. With the victory, the Orange extended their winning streak in season openers to six. Linebacker Lakiem Williams paced the defense with 11 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Quarterback Tommy DeVito made his first career start and distributed the ball to eight different receivers, completing 17-of-35 passes for 176 yards. For Liberty, the loss ended the Flames’ four-game home winning streak and spoiled the debut of head coach Hugh Freeze, who coached the game from a hospital bed in the press box.

RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State (4-2, 1-1 ACC) scored the game’s first 16 points and held off a fourth-quarter Syracuse rally for a 16-10 victory at Carter-Finley Stadium. The Orange (3-3, 0-2 ACC) had an opportunity to win in the final minute, but their drive stalled in Wolfpack territory and time ran out. Quarterback Tommy DeVito set a career high with 29 completions and recorded his second 300-yard passing game of the season. Wide receiver Trishton Jackson caught nine balls for 106 yards and scored Syracuse’s only touchdown on a 2-yard grab in the fourth quarter. It was Jackson’s third straight game with a TD catch. Linebacker Andrew Armstrong led a strong defensive effort, finishing with a personal-best 14 tackles. He also intercepted a pass. NC State linebacker Louis Acceus tied Armstrong for game-high tackling honors with 14 stops, including three of the Wolfpack’s eight sacks. NC State’s only touchdown came on a pass from wide receiver Thayer Thomas to running back Trent Pennix after Thomas received a lateral. The Wolfpack improved to 6-1 against Syracuse in games played in Raleigh.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Orange outscored the Panthers 14-3 in the second half, but Syracuse (3-4, 0-3 ACC) couldn’t overtake Pittsburgh (5-2, 2-1 ACC) and lost 27-20 at the Carrier Dome. Backup quarterback Clayton Welch threw two second-half touchdown passes, including a 94-yarder to receiver Taj Harris that tied for the second-longest pass play in program history. Welch was also Syracuse’s leading rusher (36 yards). The Pitt defense sacked Syracuse quarterbacks nine times. Starter Tommy DeVito absorbed six of those blows before exiting the game in the third quarter in favor of Welch. The loss ended Syracuse’s six-game winning streak in Friday night games.
