Cats come up empty on second drive

Quick flank right - Bacher completes to Peterman for eight yards.

And the running game is back - Sutton carries for 24 yards on 2nd and 2. He appears ready to jump back into talk of the Big Ten's best back.

Another shaky throw by Bacher - batted by Vincenzo Giruzzi at the line of scrimmage.

Bacher throws another flank to Sutton for seven more yards. Sets up a 3rd and 2. The Cats go back to the same play, but Giruzzi bats it away.

On 4th and 2, the Cats are forced to punt. Stefan Demos's pooch kick is back, pinning the Orange inside the 15.

Thoughts: Syracuse's defense has crowded the middle of the field early on the first two drives. NU's experienced receivers - Lane, Peterman, and even the younger Brewer - can't find room.
