SYRACUSE VS MICHIGAN - SCRIMMAGE II

https://youtu.be/QP5l5LCVzO4

I put your highlights together because I was doing an experiment for something else. Unfortunately the experiment failed, and the the leftover work was this video, so I though I would do something with it. So here's your week 2 scrimmage, highlights/lowlights beginning to end in 2 minutes.

Game 1

Syracuse 29
Rebels 20


Syracuse holds on to win over tough Ole Miss team, 29-20.




A capacity crowd filled the Carrier Dome to watch the kickoff to the 2017 season and the fans were treated to an exciting game. Most of the damage by both sides through the air, as QB William Mitchell completed 14 of his 22 pass attempts for 343 yards with 3 TD and 0 INT for a QBR of 146.78. He was extremely efficient, completing passes to 6 different receivers, headlined by #1 WR Millar's 172 yards and 2 TD on just 4 receptions. Despite their efforts, however, the running game was never able to get going, managing a mere 96 yards on the ground. Another thing for the Orange to address moving forward is their 3rd down efficiency. They were a pathetic 3 for 13 converting third downs.

Defensively, Syracuse is still trying to work out the kinks. They allowed 395 net yards in this one, as the Rebels came roaring back in the second half to make the home crowd nervous before ultimately putting the game away. CB Alvin Ash led the way, picking off opposing QB Lipscomb twice as the game came down the stretch.

Up next for Syracuse is an ACC matchup with division rival, Miami Hurricanes. It will be an early season test as to where the Orange stack up against what should be a tough Canes team.

Game 2
Hurricanes 10
Syracuse 7


Hurricanes bring the heat, Syracuse offense wilts, fall 10-7.


Only the defense of the Orange made the trip in this one as Syracuse's offense turned the ball over 4 times, leading to the winning FG early in the 4th Quarter. QB William Mitchell had his issues all game, throwing for 233 yards on 19 of 39 passing with 1 TD and 3 INT for a paltry 44.07 QBR. He was under pressure all day from the Hurricane's front seven and it showed. He was sacked 7 times on the game and pressured numerous more, forcing errant throws. RB Armijo looked good in the first quarter before the wheels fell off the rushing attack, as he was ineffective the rest of the way and ultimately fumbled the game away in the fourth.

The Orange defense definitely came to play in this one, as they held the Cane's to a mere 169 net yards on the day. They held tough in the fourth on the game winning drive, as Miami was set up inside the 10 yard line following Armijo's fumble and forced them backwards on three plays, ultimately holding them out of the endzone and keeping the damage limited to a FG off the foot of K Stanley.

It's back to the drawing board for Coach Willy and his staff as they return home to face a hungry Stanford team looking to avoid an 0-3 start to the season. While the oddsmakers favor the Orange 14 at home, inconsistent play makes this game a tossup.
