Syracuse coach Mike Hopkins’ relationship-building keys his success
The energy flows out of him. He cannot answer a simple question without a smile and an illustration of what he is talking about.

Three keys for Syracuse against Georgia Tech
The Syracuse Orange opened its first Atlantic Coast Conference road venture in style with a 24-10 win against the North Carolina State Wolfpack last Saturday in Raleigh. Both squads struggled to finish drives as both Riley Dixon and Wil Baumann each punted seven times. The game remained tight midway through the fourth quarter with the score tied at 10 apiece. That’s when Syracuse’s running game took control.
