Orange punter named ECAC Special Teams Player of the Week
Senior punter Riley Dixon has earned another honor for his performance in the Orange's season opening win over Villanova.
Highlights
Dixon was named ECAC Special Teams Player of the Week after throwing the eventual game-winning touchdown off a fake field goal in the second overtime period. He rolled to his left from his position as the holder and found tight end Kendall Moore in the corner of the end zone for the score.
The Blossvale, N.Y. native also put up a strong performance in the kicking game, punting five times for 217 yards (43.4 yard average), with two punts going for over-50 yards and another two being downed inside of the 20.
Dixon was previously named ACC Co-Specialist of the Week for his performance.
Syracuse takes the Carrier Dome turf next on September 20 against Maryland, now of the Big Ten. Individual game tickets for that game, and for the rest of the ACC schedule including defending national champion Florida State are available by visiting Cuse.com, the Carrier Dome Box Office, Destiny USA Kiosks or by calling 1-888-DOMETIX.
