Syracuse Football Boasts Nation's Interceptions Leader
11/18/2005 10:10:18 AM | Football
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Senior safety Anthony Smith took over the national lead in interceptions with a pick against South Florida in SU's last game. He has six interceptions and is averaging 0.67 interceptions per game in the Orange's nine contests. He has 14 career interceptions which ranks third on Syracuse's all-time list. Smith's six interceptions is the most by an SU defender since Kevin Abrams notched six picks in 1995 and his season total is tied with nine other Orange defenders for the third-most in a single year. If Smith can continue his ball-hawking pace he would be the first Orange player to ever lead the country in interceptions.
Smith and the Orange play at #6/7 Notre Dame (7-2) on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 2:30 p.m. The game will be televised nationally by NBC.
