Here are some numbers: 31, 20, 36, 36, 31, 52. No, those are not the numbers of my losing Powerball ticket. Those would be the margins of victory in six of Syracuse’s eight contests thus far.
Here we are…Year 4 of the Doug Marrone era at Syracuse. The head football coach has had time to come in, change the culture, get his players in there, and erase the stench that was left behind from the Greg Robinson era.
Maybe Melo’s return to the lineup Saturday was a bit skewed. But, Syracuse’s center showed he was head and shoulders above the rest in both stature and production.
