The Wagner Seahawks watched the action from their couches last weekend, but are set to take to the field. They will take on the Syracuse Orange at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday at JMA Wireless Dome. 'Cuse will be strutting in after a win while the Seahawks will be stumbling in from a loss.
Wagner received a tough blow two weeks ago as they fell 27-7 to the Saint Francis U Red Flash.
Meanwhile, things were close when 'Cuse and the Virginia Cavaliers clashed last Friday, but 'Cuse ultimately edged out the opposition 22-20. The team accrued 16 points in the first half and coasted on those for the victory. 'Cuse's only offensive touchdown came on a rush from QB Garrett Shrader.
Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed 16. K Andre Szmyt delivered a perfect 5-for-5 game.
Wagner's defeat took them down to 0-3 while Syracuse's win pulled them up to 4-0. Giving up four turnovers, the Orange had had trouble holding onto the ball. We'll see if the Seahawks can exploit that vulnerability.
