Syracuse Football Player Rankings (Week 7)

If anyone won this game for Syracuse it had to be our defense. Zaire Franklin in particular made multiple stops in particular in 3rd and 4th down short situations. The unit as a whole stood

out all game. They had a lapse in the third quarter, but got back on track in the fourth to close out the game after it became tied at 17-17.

The defense caused several three and outs for the Virginia Tech offense. That is surprising considered how our defense has been cut up in previous weeks like Swiss cheese. They played excellent but not perfect, which was just enough for the Syracuse football to beat the 17th ranked Hokies at home in the dome.

They alone pretty much made it so all the offense had to do was score points and that’s exactly what Syracuse did. To congratulate their efforts, here’s a place at Number 3 in our rankings.
