GAME NOTES: OFFENSE

PASSING THE TORCH• Redshirt sophomore QB Tommy DeVito is expected to make the fi rst start of his career Saturday at Liberty. The Don Bosco Prep (N.J.) product takes over for record-se er Eric Dungey, who served as Syracuse's starter all four years of his career.• In eight games during his freshman season, DeVito completed just over 50 percent of his passes for 525 yards and four touchdowns.• His most notable performance came when he relieved Dungey in the fourth quarter against North Carolina and rallied Syracuse to a 40-37, double-over me victory. DeVito entered the game with 5:07 remaining and threw three touchdowns, including the tying score with 1:39 to go and the winner in the second extra session.• Against Florida State, DeVito guided Syracuse to 24 second-half points as the Orange defeated the Seminoles 30-7 for their fi rst win over FSU since 1966. DeVito passed for 144 yards, including a 3-yard touchdown, and ran for another score to earn ACC Rookie of the Week honors.

MOE TOUCHES, MOE YARDS• Senior RB Moe Neal enters his fi nal season 286 yards shy of becoming the 23rd player in program history to amass 2,000 career rushing yards. • In 37 games, Neal has run for 1,714 yards on 315 carries. • Neal's average of 5.44 yards per carry is fi h on the Syracuse all- me list behind Ernie Davis (6.63), Jim Brown (5.79), Robert Drummond (5.51) and Walter Reyes (5.48).• The most recent Orange ball carrier to reach the milestone was RB Prince-Tyson Gulley. Gulley ran for 2,063 yards from 2010-14.

RETURNING RECEIVERS• Syracuse brings back three of its top four pass-catchers from last season. Senior WR Sean Riley, junior WR Nykeim Johnson and sophomore WR Taj Harris combined to catch 145 passes for 1,886 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2018.• Riley is the ACC ac ve leader with 83 career recep ons for 990 yards and three scores. • The Los Angeles, California na ve paced Syracuse a year ago with 64 catches. He ranked sixth in the ACC in recep ons per game (4.9). • Johnson made 41 grabs for 565 yards and four touchdowns in 2018. • Three of Johnson's four TD recep ons covered at least 30 yards, including an 82-yard score versus NC State that represented Syracuse's longest play of the season from scrimmage.• Harris made his presence known right away, snagging 40 balls for 565 yards and three touchdowns. Both his catch total and receiving yardage fi gure were Syracuse freshman records, eclipsing Shelby Hill's 1990 marks of 33 and 558. • Harris was third among ACC rookies in recep ons behind Clemson's Justyn Ross (46) and Wake Forest's Sage Surra (41).

SEASON OPENERS EQUAL PRODUCTION• In Syracuse's three previous season openers under Dino Babers, the Orange have put up massive off ensive numbers. Since 2016, Syracuse has averaged 566.7 yards of off ense, including 364.7 yards passing, and scored 46 points a game in campaign starters.• The Orange's 437 passing yards in 2016 versus Colgate, and 431 yards through the air against Central Connec cut State in 2017, rank among the top 10 single-game team passing totals in program history (5th and 7th).• Syracuse's passing yardage may have been a li le down at Western Michigan in 2018, but that's because Eric Dungey set the SU quarterback rushing record with 200 yards on the ground versus the Broncos.

GAME NOTES: DEFENSE

TAKETH AWAY• Part of Syracuse's defensive turnaround in 2018 was its success genera ng turnovers. The Orange more than quadrupled their intercep on total from 2017 (4) to 2018 (18) and fi nished fi h na onally in the sta s c.• In addi on, the Orange fi nished last year ed for third na onally with 13 fumble recoveries. The team's 31 turnovers gained ed for the FBS lead with Ohio. Boston College (26) was the next closest ACC team.• Syracuse was +13 in turnover margin on the year (best in the ACC and fourth na onally). The Orange turned their opponent's miscues into 111 points, compared 46 points scored by the opposi on off SU turnovers.• The Orange own a current streak of 14 consecu ve games with a takeaway da ng back to the 2017 fi nale versus Boston College. It's the fi h-longest ac ve takeway streak in the na on and the best current streak in the ACC. UCF's 32-game streak tops the na onal list.

THE 'CISCO KID'• Preseason All-American S Andre Cisco enters the fi rst game of his sophomore season two intercep ons behind the FBS career leader a er picking off seven passes last year.• In addi on to taking the ball away, Cisco ed for second in the ACC behind Virginia's Bryce Hall (1.8)in passes defended at 1.5 per game. His 18 passes defended (7 INT, 11 PBU) matched Texas Tech's Adrian Frye (5 INT, 13 PBU) for the na onal rookie lead and were an Orange true-freshman record.• Cisco was the fi rst freshman to lead the na on in intercep ons since Wisconsin's Jamar Fletcher in 1998 and the second true freshman ever to do so, joining Oregon's George Shaw (1951).• Two ac ve FBS players have more career intercep ons than Cisco – Louisiana Tech's Amik Robertson (9) and South Alabama's Jalen Thompson (8). For perpec ve, both Robertson (26) and Thompson (36) have played at least twice as many games as Cisco (13).

The growth displayed by coordinator Brian Ward's defense since 2016 has fueled Syracuse's turnaround just as much, if not more, than the Orange's off ensive prowess. The biggest areas of improvement have been takeaways, where the Orange nearly tripled their 2017 total last season, and sacks. A er tallying 16 sacks in 2017, Syracuse posted a school-record 43 a year ago.
