The improvement of quarterback Garrett Shrader has been a key element to that production, as has the play of the offensive line. All of that has led to improvement in one key area that has allowed the Orange to put up points in the first two games of the season. Third down conversions. Thus far in 2022, Syracuse is converting 54.6% of its third downs. That is good for 19th in the country and fourth in the ACC. An impressive statistic in its own right that becomes even more impressive when you compare it to the Orange's futility in 2021. Syracuse converted 32.9% of its third downs last season, which was last in the ACC and outside of the top 100 nationally. The inability to sustain drives directly impacts the ability to score. It sounds simplistic, and it is, but it is also reality. In the opening drive against UConn, Syracuse converted three third downs on its way to a touchdown. Against Louisville, the Orange had multiple touchdown drives that featured at least one third down conversion. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.si.com/college/purdue/football/all-syracuse-questions-breaking-down-purdue-football-week-3-opponent"]All Syracuse Q&A: Breaking Down Purdue Football's Week 3 Opponent[/URL] (SI; Fezler)[/B] [I]Ahead of Purdue football's upcoming matchup with Syracuse, Boilermakers Country caught up with Josh Crawford of All Syracuse to find out more about the Orange. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue football is gearing up for its first road matchup of the season this upcoming week, where the team will play Syracuse inside the JMA Wireless Dome. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET on Saturday. Ahead of the game, we caught up with FanNation reporter Josh Crawford with [URL='https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/'][B]All Syracuse[/B][/URL] for a Q&A to get some insight on the Orange. Here's everything he had to say about the Boilermakers' next opponent: [B]Q: Syracuse running back Sean Tucker leads the team in both rushing yards and receiving yards through the first two games of the season, what is it about his skillset and the Orange offense that allows him to be such a dynamic, dual-threat player?[/B] Tucker’s ability to make an impact as a receiver has been one of the main storylines in fall camp and throughout the regular season for this Cuse team. Babers and this offensive staff knew that defenses would load the box this year to stop #34, and figured that moving him around would be the most effective to maximize his production.

[I][SIZE=3]© Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports[/SIZE][/I][/SIZE] As for Tucker, he’s a back with elite speed and quickness (he sprinted for Syracuse’s track team last spring) to erase angles and consistently make a man miss in the box, but combines that with a compact and muscular frame at 5’9, 210 pounds that provides him with impressive power and contact balance to break arm tackles and be a problem between the tackles. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/football/behind-enemy-lines-purdue-boilermakers"]Behind Enemy Lines: Purdue Boilermakers[/URL] (SI; Crawford)[/B] [I]All Syracuse caught up with Boilermakers Country's DJ Fezler to get the inside scoop on Purdue ahead of Saturday's matchup. [B]Q: Most SU (and Big Ten) fans are familiar with Aidan O’Connell and the exploits of this Purdue passing attack. What are some other areas of strength where Purdue could potentially exploit the Orange?[/B] Fezler: While the offense usually takes the spotlight for Purdue football, the team has a veteran secondary that has fueled a fast start on the defensive side of the ball through two games. The Boilermakers are one of just three teams in the country with multiple interceptions returned for touchdowns this season. Against Penn State, fifth-year safety Chris Jefferson brought back an interception 72 yards for a score in the fourth quarter and senior safety Cam Allen also tallied a pick-six that went for 65 yards this past weekend against Indiana State. So far, the Purdue defense has registered four takeaways while keeping its opponents scoreless in six out of eight quarters. [B]Q: Garrett Shrader has arguably been the best QB in college football since the season started. Who are some potential Purdue defensive game-wreckers and what type of things will the Boilermakers have to do to slow Shrader down?[/B] Fezler: There's no doubt that Shrader has been exceptional for Syracuse to start the season, and it will be imperative for Purdue to disrupt his timing and create pressure up front with the defensive line. The team has deployed a deep rotation of defensive linemen but is still looking for someone to emerge after losing star pass rusher George Karlaftis to the NFL. Redshirt senior defensive tackle Branson Deen, who was often overlooked for his size at the position, is the leader up front and has a high motor. Deen has a sack and two quarterback hits so far this season and will look to add to those numbers when Shrader drops back to pass. The Boilermakers will need several players to step up and generate pressure, forcing Shrader into rare mistakes in order to get the ball back to Aidan O'Connell and the offense. ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.nunesmagician.com/2022/9/13/23348400/syracuse-orange-football-dino-babers-purdue-week-3-preview-press-conference"]Syracuse football: Dino Babers’ Purdue week preview[/URL] (TNIAAM; Ostrowski)[/B] [I]The [URL='https://www.nunesmagician.com/']Syracuse Orange[/URL] are off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2018, and they’re now home for over a month.

There might not be a ton of production, but the midrange throws have been there for the taking with Louisville and UConn combining to connect on 79% of their passes. Welcome to Purdue. Aidan O’Connell and the Boilermakers tuned-it up last week with a nearly perfect performance in the 56-0 scrimmage against Indiana State. The passing game wasn’t sharp against Penn State, but it went for 365 yards. Now, if O’Connell can be consistent on the short throws and the offense can control third downs, it’ll keep the Orange O on the sidelines. Time of possession will matter here.

RB Sean Tucker is still the star, but Garrett Shrader has been terrific hitting 79% of his passes for 529 yards and five scores in easy wins over Louisville and UConn. Penn State’s Sean Clifford didn’t exactly carve up the Boilermaker secondary, but he came up big when he needed to – he finished with over 300 yards and four scores.

The Louisville game was a stunner, and UConn is UConn. This is going to be the better indicator.

The Orange (2-0) hope their momentum continues Saturday afternoon when Purdue (1-1) pays a visit to the newly named JMA Dome. Syracuse is beginning to resemble the 2018 squad that won its first four games and went on to post a 10-3 record — the only winning record so far in Dino Babers’ six seasons as Orange coach. The Orange notched a 31-7 victory over Louisville in their season opener and then pounded UConn 48-14. Garrett Shrader has completed 79.2 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and no interceptions. Eleven different Syracuse players have caught a pass, led by dynamic running back Sean Tucker with 10 catches for 101 yards. “Shrader does a nice job of picking and choosing his targets,” Babers said. “He’s been extremely accurate this year and his throwing percentages have been extremely high.” While Shrader has spread the ball around, Boilermakers quarterback Aidan O’Connell has continued to show outstanding chemistry with Charlie Jones, who has a national-best 21 catches covering 286 yards and four TDs. O’Connell and Jones played youth football together and were reunited when Jones transferred in from Iowa. In the 56-0 rout of Indiana State last week, they hooked up nine times for 133 yards and three scores. “I think those two have proven that they can make big plays,” Purdue coach Jeff Brohm said. “They are a big part of the offense. Just being consistent all year is going to be the key for them — and staying healthy.” ...[/I] [B][URL="https://saturdaytradition.com/purdue-football/purdue-football-5-keys-for-beating-syracuse/"]Purdue football: 5 keys for beating Syracuse[/URL] (saturdaytraditions.com; Charters)[/B] [I]Purdue hits the road for the first time this season, traveling to Syracuse while looking to jump above .500. But the Orange will be a challenge, perhaps a bigger one than anticipated after Syracuse has started the season 2-0. Let’s take a look at 5 keys for the Boilermakers against the Orange:[/I] [HEADING=2][I]Stop the run[/I][/HEADING] [I]Couldn’t be more obvious, right? But for Purdue, the objective takes on a new challenge in coming weeks, as the Boilermakers are without versatile linebacker/safety Jalen Graham, who is out up to a month with a leg injury suffered in Week 1 vs. Penn State. The Boilermakers got by against Indiana State, but that was an FCS program that was overwhelmed at the line of scrimmage. Syracuse provides a much bigger test. The Orange have rushed a robust 91 times through 2 games, picking up 421 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns. Two players have more than 100 yards, including running back Sean Tucker’s 212 and quarterback Garrett Shrader’s 118. Graham is Purdue’s best defensive play-maker, so replacing the 6-3, 220-pounder — who has played linebacker, safety and nickel, depending on the situation — will not be easy. Against Indiana State, Purdue inserted Sanoussi Kane in as a starting safety, moving Chris Jefferson down to nickel. But at Syracuse, it’s likely that the Boilermakers will want to play bigger, meaning putting a reserve linebacker on the field, rather than a safety. ...[/I] [B][URL]https://purdue./news/syracuse-s-dino-babers-traces-coaching-roots-to-purdue[/URL] (r1vals.com; Dienhart)[/B] [I]Dino Babers will never forget the 1992 Old Oaken Bucket game. It’s not because Purdue pulled off an exciting win vs. Indiana. It’s because the then Boilermaker receivers coach had become a father for the second time earlier in the day. “Had my second child (in West Lafayette), my second daughter there,” said Babers, the head coach at Syracuse. “She was born that morning. I ran through the gates right before the kickoff of the game. So, that's one of those memories. To this day, (my daughter is) like, ‘why is my nickname Old Oaken Bucket Head?’ “ Babers laughs while telling the story. He enjoyed his three seasons as an assistant at Purdue, working on Jim Colletto’s first three staffs from 1991-93. Now, Babers is in his seventh season as Syracuse coach. And he’ll face the Boilermakers on Saturday at noon ET on ESPN2 in Syracuse. This won’t be the first time Babers and Jeff Brohm have faced each other. In 2014, Bowling Green took on Western Kentucky in Bowling Green in the first game for each coach in their new job. Brohm won that day, taking a 59-31 decision. “We are familiar with each other,” said Babers. “They beat the crap out of us.” ...[/I] [B][URL="https://www.nunesmagician.com/2022/9/13/23350010/syracuse-orange-football-heisman-betters-are-pleased-with-rb-sean-tucker-early-season-performance"]Syracuse football: Heisman bettors are pleased with Sean Tucker’s early-season performance[/URL] (TNIAAM; OStrowski)[/B] [I]We’ve known for a while that the [URL='https://www.nunesmagician.com/']Syracuse Orange[/URL] have a star in running back Sean Tucker.
