Syracuse Orange

Syracuse head coach Dino Babers held his weekly press conference on Monday and discussed two issues from the loss at Clemson that fans and media have been discussing since its conclusion. Not calling timeout after stopping Clemson late in the fourth quarter to preserve time and running back Sean Tucker only having five rushing attempts on the afternoon. 

"Let me start with the 25 seconds," Babers said. "There was a mistake on our part. It's been handled internally. It was a 25 second mistake. Based off of how we do things, I feel like it's corrected and that should not happen again. But no doubt there was a 25 second mistake on the clock and that was bad. 

"When it comes to Tucker having five carries, that's something that should not happen. I agree with everyone else that he should have more carries than that in a football game and that has been addressed." 

Syracuse would lose the game 27-21 despite leading 21-10 at halftime and after three quarters. The Orange was outscored 17-0 in the fourth quarter and did not tally a single point in the second half. 

Next up for Syracuse is Notre Dame, who comes to the Dome on Saturday for a noon kickoff on ABC.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
