Awards
Once again Garrett Shrader makes the PFF Team of the Week and look at why:
Shrader completed eight of his nine throws over 10 yards downfield for 198 yards and three touchdowns.
The dynamic athlete recorded two designed rushing touchdowns, bringing his two-year total with Syracuse to 15.
When free from pressure, he went a perfect 16-of-16 for 237 yards and three scores against the Huskies.
If he can stay anywhere near these performances, Syracuse is going to be tough to stop.
