00:00 Syracuse walks away 4-0 but not before being tested by Army. Army came out and
00:06 had a huge presence offensively putting together 17 plays to score first in this
00:11 game. And Syracuse offense took a little bit longer to get going. They walked away
00:15 in the first half with only having three points to their name. They went on to
00:19 score 26 between the third and the fourth quarter and a huge player today
00:23 was Alford. Talk about a breakthrough performance for the wide receiver and
00:28 something Schrader really looked to gain on after having to run the ball how
00:32 many times himself in week three. It was nice for him to have a little bit of
00:36 help but once again the story remains how Syracuse defense continues to be
00:40 dominant. After giving up the first touchdown they really went on lockdown
00:45 defense and something that coach Long did in the halftime was he told the
00:49 players hey I know Army is eating up a lot of the clock they're out there a
00:53 long time we're having to work two times harder but we just need to keep our eyes
00:57 on the right people. Once they were able to make that adjustment they really took
01:02 over this game and allowed for Syracuse offense to come out and play freely.
01:06 Defensive back Clark talked about how he really feels their chemistry on defense
01:11 is what is shining through here on this play. He also thinks with this tough
01:15 matchup versus Army that it was the first time they had to beat a team physically
01:19 and mentally. Something that will prepare them greatly going to next week where
01:24 Syracuse will host Clemson at the JMA Dome. I'm Sydney Supley, Syracuse on FN.
