Orange Watch: New Syracuse quarterback, new offensive play caller, HUGE challenge
The Dome record for points scored by one team is 70 by Syracuse in its Donovan McNabb-directed 70-14 blitz of Rutgers in 1998, featuring an Orange offense that resembled an out-of-control video game racing up and down the field, and included 42 points scored by halftime. After FSU put up 59 on the Orange a year ago, is that mark in jeopardy indoors Saturday?
Syracuse 3, Florida State 59 — What we learned
Syracuse fans still have to be disheartened with the distance that the team will have to travel to get back into the national discussion.

Florida State Seminoles blow out Syracuse Orange
Saturday turned out to be as unsuccessful a business trip as many expected for Syracuse, as they were flattened by #2 Florida State in Tallahassee, 59-3.
