MCCORD CEMENTS PLACE IN RECORD BOOKS
• QB Kyle McCord is Syracuse's single-season leader in passing yards with 3,946 in 2024.
• He broke the previous record of 3,749 yards set by Ryan Nassib in 2012 in Syracuse's win against UConn.
• He completed 37-of-47 passes for a career-high 470 yards against the Huskies. The 470 yards rank second on Syracuse's single-game record list and are the third-highest single-game total by an FBS quarterback this season.
• McCord's two touchdown passes in the win against UConn increased his season total to 26, which ties the single-season school record which Nassib set in 2012.
• McCord already owns the single-season school record for completions (341) and total offense (3,902).
• The senior is also on pace to set the single-season record for most passing yards per game. He is averaging 358.7, which would surpass the current record of 297.7 set by Eric Dungey in 2016. That total would rank second on the ACC single-season record list behind Virginia's Brennan Armstrong's 404.5 in 2021.
• McCord has thrown for 300 yards in 10 games this season, which is a single-season school record.
• McCord is just the second 'Cuse quarterback to record eight or more 300-yard passing performances in his career. Eric Dungey holds the school career record for 300-yard passing games (12).
• After just 11 games donning the orange, McCord ranks ninth on Syracuse's all-time touchdown passes list and ninth in career yards.

SPREAD OFFENSE
• Syracuse is the only FBS school that has three players who are averaging 67.0 yards receiving or more per game this season.
• TE Oronde Gadsden II leads the way with 73.6 ypg. WR Jackson Meeks is right behind with 72.8 ypg, and WR Trebor Pena is averaging 67.5 ypg.
• Gadsden, Meeks and WR Darrell Gill Jr. surpassed 100 yards receiving against UConn. Gill posted career highs in catches (9) and receiving yards (185). Gadsden made 11 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while Meeks had seven receptions for 110 yards.
• It marked the first time in program history that three 'Cuse players recorded 100 receiving yards in a game.
• The Orange have 11 100-yard receiving games this year, which is the highest total in the ACC.

4 OVER 50
• Syracuse has four players with 50 receptions in a season for the first time in program history.
• WR Trebor Pena has 73 receptions to lead the Orange. WR Jackson Meeks has 66, while TE Oronde Gadsden II has 65. RB LeQuint Allen Jr. reached 50 catches this season at Cal to join the group. He currently has 55.

SERIES HISTORY
• Saturday's matchup is the 24th meeting between Syracuse and Miami. The Hurricanes own a 16-7 advantage in the all-time series and have won the past six contests. Miami will make its first trip to the JMA Dome since 2002.
• Syracuse has faced Miami just once since joining the ACC (2017). The schools met every year from 1992-2003 when both were members of The BIG EAST Conference.
• For the sixth-straight meeting, the Orange will face a nationally-ranked Miami squad.

A WIN WOULD …
• Give the Orange nine regular-season wins for the first time since 2018 and just the third time since 2000 (2001, 2018).
• Give Syracuse its first win against a top-10 team since 2017 (Clemson).
• Improve the Orange's November record to 4-1, marking the first time Syracuse has won four games in the month since 1997.
• Make Fran Brown the second head coach in the modern era (post World War II) to record nine regular-season wins in his first season as head coach, matching Paul Pasqualoni's mark in 1991.
• Give Syracuse its 763rd all-time victory (includes 11 wins from 2004-06 that were vacated by the NCAA). The Orange currently rank 21st on the FBS ledger of winningest programs. Syracuse is one of 34 FBS schools to have accumulated 700+ wins.
