second quarter<\/b><\/h2>\n

Louisville drive starts w\/ 1:54 remaining at its own 14-yard line:<\/b><\/p>\n

Big open-field tackle by Rob Hanna, but Stefon Thompson now getting medical attention on the sideline.<\/p>\n

Thompson is the third starter to come out of the game because of injury here in the first half.<\/p>\n

Max Mang assumed Chris Elmore’s role as the lead blocker.<\/p>\n

LeQuint Allen came on for Tucker.<\/p>\n

Derek McDonald stands ready as Thompson is helped off the field by support staff.<\/p>\n

Louisville offensive lineman Renato Brown has been disqualified after review for targeting on an illegal block.<\/p>\n

Syracuse drive starts w\/ 5:10 remaining at its own 4-yard line:<\/b><\/p>\n

Shrader finds Gadsen on a short pass over the middle to move the chains.<\/p>\n

Shrader goes back over the middle to Jones, who breaks a tackle and gets out near midfield.<\/p>\n

Sean Tucker is down on the field at the 3:19 mark. Oh boy.<\/p>\n

Tucker is a little hobbly but walking off the field on his own strength. Tucker is walking gingerly down the sideline, being watched carefully from behind by the team physician. He just went into the medical tent.<\/p>\n

Shrader dumps off a couple throws to LeQuint Allen. He’s stopped well short of the first-down marker, and SU’s drive stalls after Tucker leaves the game.<\/p>\n

Syracuse, driving near midfield and leading by 10 at the time of Tucker’s injury, will put.<\/p>\n

Louisville drive starts w\/ 10:13 remaining:<\/b><\/p>\n

Louisville is out across midfield here on a 12-yard rush by Jordan.<\/p>\n

Scott Satterfield then opens up the bag of tricks, as Braden Smith takes the pitch and passes it downfield to Tyler Hudson. His catch and run places the ball inside the 5-yard line.<\/p>\n

SU’s defense comes up big on the goal line. A stop by Marlowe Wax on an option keeper by Cunningham preceded a false start penalty that pushed the ball back to the 7-yard line. Now Louisville will talk it over.<\/p>\n

Cunningham throws it away on second down and gets 6 yards back on a third-down run to set up 4th-and-goal. The crowd noise forces the Cardinals to take another timeout here at the 5:16 mark.<\/p>\n

Big play coming up.<\/p>\n

SU’s defense shuts the door. Stefon Thompson and Marlowe Wax bottle up Cunningham.<\/p>\n

SCORE: Syracuse 17, Louisville 7; with 10:25 remaining in the second quarter<\/b><\/p>\n

Shrader comes out in the second quarter with a deep ball to Isaiah Jones, who can’t complete the catch in bounds.<\/p>\n

Shrader more than makes up for it, picking up 33 yards on the ground and adding a 15-yard completion to Cooper to set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Tucker.<\/p>\n

Shrader is 10-for-12 for 144 yards and a touchdown. He’s added a team-high 58 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n

Tucker, who has scored both Orange touchdowns, is over 100 all-purpose yards thanks in part to a 55-yard catch and run.<\/p>\n

first quarter<\/b><\/h2>\n

Syracuse drive starts 1:10:<\/b><\/p>\n

Shrader picks up 9 yards on the first play of the drive. His helmet comes off again on the next play, and Del Rio-Wilson has to come in again on another third down. He hands it to Tucker and keeps the drive alive.<\/p>\n

Syracuse drive start: 6:47<\/b><\/p>\n

Syracuse with a couple false starts here on the offensive line. Devaugn Cooper’s 23-yard catch is good for a first down. Shrader goes back to Cooper on the next play, then Tucker gets chopped down for a 5-yard gain but another first down.<\/p>\n

Chris Elmore is down on the field after the play, with Babers, strength coach Sean Edinger and training staff out checking on him. Elmore, one of the team’s captains, is helped to his feet and being helped off the field by support staff.<\/p>\n

On the next play, Tucker breaks loose for a 55-yard catch and run from Shrader.<\/p>\n

Louisville drive start: 9:41<\/b>: Here’s our first look at Malik Cunningham against the SU defense.<\/p>\n

Kevon Darton gets the start at defensive tackle, flanked by Caleb Okechukwu and Jatius Geer. Terry Lockett is dressed on the sideline.<\/p>\n

After an early first down, Geer gets some pressure on Cunningham, who throws it away.<\/p>\n

A key false start penalty on Louisville leads to 3rd-and-6 becoming 3rd-and-11 and a stop for the defense. Louisville will punt.<\/p>\n

SCORE: Syracuse 3, Louisville 0; with 9:46 remaining in quarters<\/b><\/p>\n

Syracuse moves the ball effectively on its opening series, but a bit of misfortune costs it in the red zone.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Garrett Shrader had his helmet knocked off on a scramble, removing him from the game for one play.<\/p>\n

It was a big one: 3rd-and-14.<\/p>\n

Backup Carlos Del Rio-Wilson dumps it off to Sean Tucker, who was stopped well short of the first down.<\/p>\n

Andre Szmyt’s 31-yard field goal attempt is good.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the drive, Garrett Shrader hits Courtney Jackson on a comeback to pick up an early first down on the drive. Shrader then scrambles out across the 40-yard in Louisville to keep the chains moving.<\/p>\n

Shrader on the money on a completion to Oronde Gadsden. Shrader is 2-for-2 for 25 yards here on the opening drive.<\/p>\n

Shrader’s swing pass to Tucker is close to another first down, as the Orange is inside the Cardinals’ 20-yard line.<\/p>\n

On 3rd-and-4, Louisville is flagged for offsides.<\/p>\n

Louisville won the coin toss and will defer to the second half. Syracuse will get the ball first.<\/p>\n

Eric Coley wearing No. 18 ten special teams. Trebor Pena back deep to return for the Orange.<\/p>\n

pregame<\/b><\/h2>\n

Update:<\/b> Syracuse is on the field for warmups. Wide receivers Isaiah Jones and Anthony Queeley are both out running routes. Both players missed time in camp as a result of injury.<\/p>\n

Safeties Jason Simmons Jr. and Aman Greenwood will not play tonight. Neither are dressed for the game. Simmons is still recovering from an injury that sidelined him during camp.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Justin Lamson (lower-leg), defensive back Cornell Perry and defensive lineman Josh Hough also aren’t dressed.<\/p>\n

Mike Schmidt drilling his offensive linemen during pregrame, primarily working with two groups:<\/p>\n

The first-team O-line: Matt Bergeron, Kalan Ellis, Carlos Vettorello, Chris Bleich and Dakota Davis.<\/p>\n

The second group: Enrique Cruz, Jakob Bradford, Josh Ilaoa, Joe Cruz and Mark Petry.<\/p>\n

Evening folks, Nate Mink is here to shepherd you through Syracuse football’s season-opening game against Louisville.<\/p>\n

This is the Cardinals’ first true road opener since 2005(!) and their first visit to this building since the 2018 season.<\/p>\n

Recent matchups in this series since both joined the ACC have been one-sided margins, with Louisville dominating the win-loss record.<\/p>\n

Syracuse thinks this year will be different. For one, it’s September and not November, when the Orange has typically been short-handed because of injuries.<\/p>\n

Both programs have undergone coaching changes and are led by new offensive coordinators: Lance Taylor comes over from Notre Dame. He’s got group a linemen up front that mauls people in the run game, and a dynamic dual-threat quarterback in Malik Cunningham. It’ll be a challenge for SU’s green defensive front.<\/p>\n

The Orange counters with Virginia transplants Robert Anae and Jason Beck, who bring the Air Raid offense in to get SU’s passing game fixed.<\/p>\n

Former Syracuse running back Jawhar Jordan is listed as the Cardinals’ top kick and punt returner. The speedy back is also listed as the team’s No. 2 tailback behind Tennessee transfer Tiyon Evans.<\/p>\n
