Hey, when your team is winning (at least at the time), why not have a little bit of fun?

Right now, Syracuse is down 10-7 against Pittsburgh in the second quarter. Shrader has a passing touchdown and 61 yards on the ground on five carries.

Syracuse is trying to get to 5-5 overall, which would keep Dino Babers’ program in contention for a bowl game.

Syracuse has lost five in a row after starting the season 4-0. It’s been a tough slide for the Orange throughout the last month and a half.
