Fran Brown Inflects Instant Punishment on Syracuse Athletes Despite Overtime Win

First win on the board for Syracuse, and that means a well-earned shower for Fran Brown. Much to the fandom’s joy, Saturday afternoon saw Fran Brown’s Syracuse paint the JMA Wireless Dome orange, as ‘Cuse clinched the victory with 27-20. A hearty cause for celebration, right? A crisp close win, that was what it was, and the head coach was not pleased. A tough call. With barely 48 seconds left in the game, Steve Angeli went in for a 53-yard touchdown to take a 20-17 lead. UConn tied the game with one second left, and the stakes hit the roof. Syracuse scored a 6-yard Ross-Simmons TD pass from Steve Angeli in overtime.

Syracuse’s defensive unit held UConn out of the end zone. With the final two plays- back-to-back pass breakups from LB Antoine Deslauriers, Syracuse finally won over the trenches. That close win was not enough for the head coach.

Post-game, the roster, pads on, was made to run sprints on he turf in front of the whole stadium. “You can tell Fran Brown is not happy after that game. He’s making the entire team run sprints post-game right now,” Play-by-Play Broadcaster, Christian De Guzman wrote on X. Well, if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Fran Brown doesn’t take losses well.
