Syr win
I shocked as everyone else.
I practically wrote off this season for the Cuse (as in no wins outside of maybe Buffalo.)
Of course, Louisville's defense contributed to the SYR. win as much as the Orange did, but one thing I never considered was that these guys, athletes want to win. Someone earlier said Syracuse had "given up." But I see that if you give athletes, on a weak team, even an inch, they'll take it.
I didn't brother watching the game, I heard Syracuse was up early but felt UofL was just toying with the saps. I had to read about the game after the fact. I'm proud that the Orange did not give up. After three embarassing losses, I'm glad they were still hungry enough to try to win.
I don't know how many wins they will finish the season with but I hope they play hard in every game down the road. The conference can't afford a weak link.
Mike T built a pretty good conference. UofL falls off and we still have four teams who can each finish in the top 20, two of those in the top 10. And of course UofL can finish in the top 20. The BE is solid.

I only caught part of the game. Syracuse scored often and (I think) to a 21-0 lead.
Louisville did fight back, though.
