About Syracuse University Football
Like tailbacks at USC, quarterbacks at Brigham Young and linebackers at Penn State, the running back position at Syracuse has a rich tradition of greatness. Much of that greatness has revolved around one jersey number 44. Number 44 at Syracuse University is one of the most storied numbers ever associated with a college football program. Since 1954, 11 players have worn the number and three earned All-America honors. Those three Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Floyd Little certainly rank among the finest running backs to ever play the game.
Brown, who played at SU from 1954-56 and led the team to a Cotton Bowl berth, went on to become the NFLs all-time leading rusher and a member of the Pro and College Football Halls of Fame. He led the league in rushing eight times in his nine years. Many still point to him as the greatest running back of all time. Among Browns accomplishments at Syracuse was setting an NCAA single-game record of 43 points against Colgate in a 61-6 SU win.
Davis played for the Orange from 1959-61. He won the 1961 Heisman Trophy, becoming the first African-American to do so, and was a starter on SUs 1959 national championship team. Davis also signed to play with the Cleveland Browns, but the devastating combination of Davis and Brown in the same backfield never came to pass. Davis died of leukemia in 1963. He was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Little was a three-time All-America selection for the Orange. Little played for SU from 1964-66 and led the team to the Sugar Bowl in 1964 and the Gator Bowl in 1966 (teaming in the backfield with Larry Csonka in the latter). Little was the greatest kick returner in Orange history.
In addition to breaking the records of Brown and Davis, he led the nation in all-purpose yardage in 1965, averaging 199 yards per game. Little went on to have a tremendous career with the Denver Broncos, winning back-to-back rushing titles in 1970-71. He, too, was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Others have worn the legendary 44 with varying degrees of success. Tom Stephens wore it between Brown and Davis and was a member of SUs 1958 Orange Bowl team. Bill Schoonover had an injury-plagued career bridging the gap between Davis and Little. Quarterback Rich Panczyszyn followed Little, but he too suffered a series of injuries.
After that, the number 44 remained on the shelf until 1976, when a highly touted local recruit from North Syracuse named Mandel Robinson was issued the jersey. Robinson spent just two seasons with the Orange before transferring to Wyoming. In 1980, Glenn Moore became the next in line. Moore had his moments of glory, including a 192-yard effort against West Virginia, but he spent most of his career backing up the likes of Joe Morris and Jaime Covington.
One of the most recent number 44s was also amongst the most successful as a collegian. Michael Owens had to wait until his senior year to get a shot as a full-time back. Owens, who split time with Robert Drummond as a sophomore and junior, gained 1,018 yards in 1989 to become just the fourth Orange back to top the 1,000-yard mark. The groundwork for Owens sensational final season had been set as a sophomore. He set an all-time Orange record for all-purpose yards per attempt and, in perhaps the most dramatic moment in SU football history, scored the two-point conversion to beat West Virginia and clinch the Orangemens unbeaten 1987 season.
The coaching staff awarded Rob Konrad the honor of wearing 44 in 1995 and the Massachusetts native did not disappoint. The first-ever fullback to don the special jersey, Konrad had many outstanding performances in his four seasons at Syracuse and was selected in the first round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins.
How much does number 44 mean to Syracuse University and the surrounding community? For starters, the university zip code was changed a few years ago from 13210 to 13244. And in 1988, when the university changed phone systems, the exchange was changed from 423 to 443. One of the student hangouts in the Marshall Street area was named simply "44s". Number 44 not only has come to represent greatness on the football field, it has become a part of the universitys and the communitys identity.
About the Stadium
DOME, SWEET, DOME is the home of the Syracuse Orangemen football team who play hard and play orange in one of the finest, most intimidating structures of its kind on a college campus.
The electricity and cheers that 52,000 fans bring to the Carrier Dome sends chills through your body when watching the Syracuse Orangemen run over their opponents on the gridiron. The fans add to the aura, glamour and mystique that has an immediate impact on viewers when watching the Orangemen on television. The constant media attention helps to equate the Carrier Dome with Syracuse University, which helps attract the highest quality of student-athletes to come play in the Dome such as former Orangemen Don McPherson, Marvin Harrison, Rob Moore and Donovan McNabb.
Most Syracuse fans are aware that the Carrier Dome is a tough place for an opponent to play. It's particularly tough to play a football game with the help of the electrifying crowd. Eighteen million people have passed through the revolving doors since the building's first public event on September 20, 1980, - a 36-24 football win against Miami of Ohio in front of 50,564 fans.
Although the Dome is most fondly known to football fans for its turf field, it is also a showcase for SU's nationally ranked basketball team, the seven-time NCAA Champion men's lacrosse team, the women's lacrosse squad and the track and field teams. In addition, the Dome's multi-purpose facility is adaptable to staging events ranging from the annual spring commencement to concerts featuring musicians such as Bruce Springstein and Billy Joel and ice shows such as the sold-out performance of former Olympic skaters.
DOME, SWEET, DOME is an exciting place where players play hard and play orange and the fans come together to cheer them on as SU looks to add on to its already impressive all-time football record in the Dome of 82-35-2.
