Currently sporting a 24.2 average margin of victory, the Orange is hammering its opponents. With a tough 9-point win on the road in Arkansas serving as the only single digit triumph, this year’s team has been making impressive statements against strong and lesser opponents alike. Of course, as Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim as noted, there are still improvements to be made, but this team is off to a very strong start.
here is a list of offensive records the 2012 Orange set this season: Total offensive yards: 5,681; Yards per game: 473.4; Total plays: 939; Passing yards: 3,619; Passing yards per game: 301.6; Completions: 283; Pass attempts: 449; First downs: 276.
The Syracuse women’s basketball team improved to 8-1 with a 66-28 thrashing over Wagner. Kayla Alexander recorded a double double with an explosive 34 points and 13 rebounds. The Orange had a 10 point lead at the half, and never looked back. Carmen Tyson-Thomas became the latest member of the 1,000 point club for Syracuse, becoming just the 22nd player in program history to reach the feat. The Orange are next in the Carrier Dome Saturday against Loyola.
"I think we’re going to be motivated to play based on what happened last year," Holgorsen said of the 49-23 whipping his team endured in the Carrier Dome. "We went up to Syracuse, and they out-coached us and out-played us."

Manuel. Additionally, early-entry candidates Aaron Murray of Georgia, Tyler Bray of Tennessee and Tajh Boyd of Clemson could be in the mix if they declare for next spring's draft.
"I don’t care what people say," Jim declared the other night. "I try to give my opinion where we are. They can think we’re bad or good or great. That’s fine. But if they think it’s going to be easy, that’s it’s already done, that this team is already there, it’s just not the way it is. We can get to be a good team, but it’s going to take a long time."
