South Alabama's Jalen Robertson and UMass' Isaiah Rodgers also have nine. • For perspec ve, Robertson (30 games) has played in nearly twice as many games as Cisco (16), while Thompson (40) and Rodgers (37) have both appeared in more than double.• In 2018, Cisco was the fi rst freshman to lead the na on in intercep ons since Wisconsin's Jamar Fletcher in 1998 and the second true freshman ever to do so, joining Oregon's George Shaw (1951).• In addi on to taking the ball away, Cisco ed for second in the ACC behind Virginia's Bryce Hall (1.8)in passes defended at 1.5 per game last season. His 18 passes defended (7 INT, 11 PBU) matched Texas Tech's Adrian Frye (5 INT, 13 PBU) for the na onal rookie lead and were an Orange true-freshman record.

NO FLY ZONE• Intercep ons have been the hallmark of the Syracuse secondary since the start of 2018. The Orange have a streak of 17 consecu ve games with an intercep on, which is the longest ac ve streak in the FBS, and is ed for the third-longest streak since 2004.• Orange defenders have picked off 24 passes (1.4 per game) over that span.• Ten diff erent players have at least one intercep on during the streak. All of sophomore S Andre Cisco'snine the s have come during that span.• Syracuse has six games with at least two picks during the streak, including three in last season's win against Wagner, which represented the most for the Orange in one game under Dino Babers.• In 2018, the Orange ranked fi h na onally with 18 intercep ons, more than quadrupling their 2017 total (4). Syracuse is currently ed for fi h in major college football with six INTs this season.• Against Clemson, the Orange intercepted quarterback Trevor Lawrence twice. Syracuse became the second team to pick the Heisman hopeful off mul ple mes (Georgia Tech was the fi rst). Lawrence only threw four intercep ons in his en re 2018 freshman campaign.

GAME SUMMARIES

LYNCHBURG, Va. – No. 22 Syracuse (1-0) smothered Liberty (0-1) by the score of 24-0 at Williams Stadium in the first meeting between the two teams. The Orange defense registered eight sacks, four takeaways and held the Flames to -4 yards rushing. Defensive linemen Kendall Coleman and Josh Black had two sacks apiece to lead the charge, and Syracuse’s eight quarterback takedowns were one short of the school record. Running backs Moe Neal, Abdul Adamsand Jarveon Howard all scored rushing touchdowns. The shutout was the 44th for the Orange in a season-opening game and the first for the team in a true road game since a 24-0 blanking of Tulane in 1991. With the victory, the Orange extended their winning streak in season openers to six. Linebacker Lakiem Williams paced the defense with a career-high 11 tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Quarterback Tommy DeVito made his first career start and distributed the ball to eight different receivers, completing 17-of-35 passes for 176 yards. For Liberty, the loss ended the Flames’ four-game home winning streak and spoiled the debut of head coach Hugh Freeze, who coached the game from a hospital bed in the press box.
