Syracuse cruised to an easy win in its final game of the preseason against Bloomsburg. Here are several observations from the game, including Trevor Cooney’s first minutes of the season.
The up-and-down 2012 season for Syracuse continued its course as they snapped a modest two-game win streak with a sloppy performance on Saturday afternoon that netted a 35-24 loss at Cincinnati.
In my opinion, that loss cost the Orange a bowl appearance. No way they’re beating undefeated Louisville at home, and I don’t see them winning at Missouri.
Syracuse, the preseason No. 9 team in the country, cruised from start to finish in a 99-63 dismantling of Pace at the Carrier Dome in front of 7,145 Thursday night in its first of two exhibition games before the season opener on Nov. 9.
Legaux threw a pair of picks as Cincinnati was stunned by Toledo for their first loss of the season, and then had another tough performance against Louisville, throwing three picks, as the Cardinals defeated the Bearcats 34-31 on Saturday.
