Georgia bulldog star will be removing Syracuse football

Game one PFF grades are in for the Syracuse Orange following their 38-22 season-opening win over the Ohio Bobcats this past weekend. A debut for a mostly-new roster means there is a lot to unpack from a numbers standpoint.

The main takeaway: Syracuse’s offense shined pretty well across the board, while most of the orange and red grades stemmed from the defense. That’s something which mostly played out while watching the game and likewise does in the advanced numbers.

Here are the complete PFF grades for the Orange this past week as well as some of the general takeaways from the data:

Offense: skill positions

As expected, Syracuse’s top grades mainly came from the offense. Oronde Gadsden’s first game in nearly a year led to him earning the highest grade (90.1) on the entire roster. He ended up cracking PFF’s College Football Team of the Week for Week 1.
