An historic night

[OttoMets]

I have no way of proving this, but tonight must have been the first time in Dome history that we went into the under-16:00 timeout of the second half with the fans still standing (no made field goal yet), but also had managed to extend our lead (from 26 to 27 since halftime).

I'd have to guess that 14:21 is one of the earliest times that a team has hit the double-bonus in fouls.

It's happened before, Although I can't remember a time where we had four subs in the game after starting a half without scoring a field goal.
That would be the Historic part.

There was a game in the late 90s against I believe Providence (or perhaps Miami?) where the other team got out to a HUGE lead, something like 22-0. Anyone else remember that? I want to say it was the 97-98 season.

Key to Otto's point was that despite going that long without scoring from the field we actually extended the lead.

Providence; I think it was 1999, but it could've been 1998. We didn't score until about 14:00 in the first half. Memorable to me as one of the ten worst Syracuse games I've sat through.

Edit: I'm certain it was Providence (and something like a 18-0 deficit), but the season is tricky - in both 1998 and 1999 our Providence home game was on the same night. We lost by 12 in '98 and by 9 in '99; both years we were in the top-20 and they were unranked.

Yep, we've done the former a few times, but it's pretty rare that a spell of futility from the field is somehow accompanied by a widening of the margin.
