For Starters
Freshman defensive tackle Bud Tribbey made his first career start in place of the injured Arthur Jones. Senior Cornelius Campbell got his first start of the year along the defensive line.
On the offensive side, sophomore quarterback Andrew Robinson returned to the starting lineup after missing last week’s USF contest with a rib injury.
Sophomore Sensation
Sophomore receiver Mike Williams made 6 receptions against the Huskies for 24 yards. He now has 51 catches this year, the most by any second-year receiver in school history. Williams’ total ranks sixth on SU’s season record for receptions and is the most since Kevin Johnson set the school record (60 receptions) in 1998.
Williams extends his consecutive game with at least one catch streak to 19 games, which is fifth best in school history. His fourth quarter touchdown catch extended his Syracuse record of consecutive games with a touchdown catch to eight games
