FB | WILD CARD: Syracuse holds on late to upset Louisville
By John Clayton
Bruce Williams called the sequence "crazy." Tailback Curtis Brinkley called it "a blessing." Safety Mike Holmes said he felt "relieved." All of the above applied to Louisville wide receiver Troy Pascley's inexplicable fourth-quarter drop, the defining play in Syracuse's 28-21 upset over the Cardinals at the Carrier Dome Saturday night.
FB | Diamond: With writing on the wall, Orange still playing hard for Robinson
By Jared Diamond
This football team made a statement Saturday night. Not on the field by somehow beating Louisville, but in how the players reacted afterward. Lost in all the euphoric joy in the press room, Greg Robinson's giddy and playful press conference (even by his standards), and the general goodwill an upset victory creates, was the honest appreciation the Orange had for its head coach.

Antwon Bailey said his mindset when he gets a carry is simple: Hold onto the ball and get positive yardage.

By Michael Bonner
As the ball hit the back of the net, Hansen Woodruff bolted from the box toward the stands with his arms fully extended, sliding feet first on the ground about 20 feet away from the fans. His body sprawled on the ground. Tom Perevegyencev arrived next, sliding next to Woodruff, patting him on the head.
MSOC | In meaningless game, Syracuse rallies to finish season in thrilling fashion
By Michael Bonner
Senior Spencer Schomaker waved his teammates on the field over to huddle just outside the goalie box prior to the start of overtime. In all likelihood this would be his and five other seniors' last colligate game. "One-two-three 'Cuse," echoed from the huddle as the players dispersed and took their positions.
