Fran Brown, the new coach at Syracuse, has been delivering on promises and bringing a positive impact to the team. Syracuse's historic start in football recruiting has been attributed to Brown's 'electricity.' In a recent game against Niagara, Syracuse led 38-28 at halftime, with standout performances from Bumbalough and Quadir. Despite struggles in half-court offense, Syracuse capitalized on turnovers and second-chance points. The team also faced South Florida in the #BocaRatonBowl, with USF taking an early lead. The game saw Syracuse handling USF's tempo well initially but facing challenges later. The Bulls ultimately secured a passing touchdown to lead 7-0 in the first quarter. The game took place in a dome, with USF making a strong impression. The Orange's offensive installation ahead of the Pittsburgh game was highlighted as a significant task. Fran Brown's interview during the game garnered attention.
Syracuse plays in a Dome, yet itβs USF claiming all the roofs.

For everyone watching Syracuse for the first time this season (or first time since early November), I invite you to read my piece on how the Orange installed this offense ahead of the Pittsburgh game. Was not a small task. https://t.co/xXv7fItuT3 https://t.co/gSGcZjW2cY
Fran Brown interview during the Cuse game is the biggest part of this game
South Florida on the board first with a passing touchdown caught just inside the back of the endzone. SU, 0 USF, 7 1Q | 7:49
TOUCHDOWN USF. Brown to Atkins for a 13-yard strike. Nice catch in the back of the end zone there. USF 7, SU 0. 7:49 remaining in the 1st qtr.
Syracuse handled USF's tempo well on the first drive but the Bulls are moving it now. Now in the red zone on its 2nd possession.
Syracuse ended up punting on that fourth-and-short after timeout. USF driving again now.
Laser of a pass from Villari to Donovan Brown sets up a fourth-and-short. Syracuse is going for it with Braden Davis under center. USF timeout first, though.
Syracuse's defense shuts USF's opening drive down quickly. LeQuint Allen was back on the punt. Orange offense to start at its own 18.
Bulls are in all-greens with gold helmets. Syracuse in all-orange, orange helmets. @BocaBowl

SU hasn't looked great in its half-court offense, but Orange has 11 points off turnovers and 6 2nd-chance points. Niagara has none of each. A 17-point difference in a 57-43 game.
Halftime at the Dome. Syracuse 38, Niagara 28. Might wanna guard that Bumbalough dude. He's got 6 3's! A huge lift from Quadir off the bench for the Orange. Stop me if you've heard that before. Stats below. Smoke if you got 'em. https://t.co/7jw7U4QR0f
From the transfer portal to high school football recruiting, Fran Brown's "electricity" is being felt immediately at Syracuse. "They're magnetic," said @SWiltfong247. "There's no doubt about that."
