• Syracuse has played in six consecutive games decided by eight points or less. The streak is the longest active in the FBS and just the ninth such streak since the 2023 season.
• Since the start of Fran Brown's tenure, Syracuse is 11-6 in games decided by one score. Syracuse's 11 wins in one-score games are tied for seventh-most over this stretch, trailing only Arkansas State (13), Duke (12), Arizona State (12), Michigan (12), Ohio (12) and Iowa State (12).
• Syracuse has won seven of its last eight games that went to overtime, including five in a row. The five-game streak is tied with Illinois for the longest active streak among FBS teams.

• Hatcher caught a touchdown in each of those four games, six total. He was the first SU player to have a touchdown in four straight games since Taj Harris in 2020.
• He logged the eighth 200-yard receiving game in SU history against Louisville, tallying 224 yards on a career-high 13 catches. His 224 yards were the most by an SU player since Amba Etta-Tawo had 270 at UConn in 2016.
