Following an upset loss last week to former Syracuse head coach Scott Shafer and Middle Tennessee State, the Orange blew past Central Michigan, 41-17, on Saturday. SU only led 24-17 at halftime, but a 17-point third quarter, keyed by big plays and third-down defense, helped the Orange separate itself from the Chippewas.
