10-3
Haven't had one of these in a while. I guess I'll have to give back some of my sponsorship money to the Dairy Farmers of America. Wish I didn't buy that boat with Joe Fields' picture on the side.
The last time Syracuse started the season 5-2, was in 2001. The Orange went on to finish 10-3 and capped it off with a 26-3 drubbing of Kansas State in the Insight.com bowl. Something to keep in mind.

Glass-half-full stat of the week
8 TDs
Ryan Nassib's 8 touchdowns through three games this season is already more than Perry Patterson threw in either of his first two seasons as SU's starting quarterback (7 in 2004, 6 in 2005). It's also as many as Troy Nunes threw in two of his seasons on the hill (2000 and 2002), and his 5 scores on Saturday equaled RJ Anderson's total in 2001.

Glass-half-full stat of the week
18.0
Van Chew's receiving yards per catch. It's obviously a small sample size, with just nine catches for 162 yards. But Chew is showing signs he could potentially stretch the field for the Orange in 2010.

Glass-half-full stat of the week
7.75
It's pretty easy to be optimistic after last week. But here's another stat that might make you feel even better. Since 1980, SU has won its season opener 12 times. In those 12 seasons, the Orange(men) averaged 7.75 wins per year. They also averaged just 3.83 losses per season. Only once did Syracuse finish with a sub .500 season after winning the opener: in 1982 when they went 2-9. The best record: obviously, 11-0-1, in 1987.

Glass-Half-Full Stat of the Week
3-8
Rich Rodriguez finished his first season at West Virginia with a 3-8 record. The Mountaineers finished 1-6 in the Big East, good for 7th place. The next year, RichRod and WVU put together nine wins, including a 6-1 conference mark, en route to an appearance in the Continental Tire Bowl. Keep that in mind when considering SU's chances coming off a 4-8 season.
