4/20/2024 10:03:00 PM | Football
The first spring ball of the Fran Brown era of Syracuse football culminated in a record attendance for a spring football game, with 16,579 tickets out for the AmeriCU Spring Game. Those fans were treated to over two hours of intra-squad scrimmage action.
Guest coach John Lally's squad bested Zaire Franklin's team 31-10, backed by prized quarterback Kyle McCord completing 18-of-28 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown in his Dome debut, despite only playing the first half.
Lally's squad was led by seven catches from Trebor Pena for 130 yards, hauling in every target. Yazeed Haynes caught six passes for 74 yards and a score. LeQuint Allen scored two touchdowns on the ground, rushing for 73 yards on just six carries. Freshman Yasin Willis carried the ball 11 times for 91 yards and scored the other rushing TD.
Carlos Del Rio-Wilson threw for 101 yards for the Blue squad, with Umari Hatcher and Jaden Hart each catching two passes. Zaire Franklin's squad was fittingly led defensively by its linebacking corps, as Derek McDonald and Marlowe Wax each made eight tackles. KingJoseph Edwards also notched a strip-sack in the game.
Orange fans will now have to wait for the real thing, the next time 'Cuse is in the JMA Dome is on Aug. 31 when Ohio comes to town. Season tickets are on sale at Cuse.com/Tickets.
