The Syracuse Orange suffered their first loss of the season last week at the hands of the Clemson Tigers, blowing a 21-7 lead to ultimately lose 27-21. They had the chance to get back in the win column in Week 9, as they hosted the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Syracuse now has a losing streak going, as they fell to Notre Dame by the score of 41-27. The Orange did not hold a lead throughout the entirety of the game.
After the game, Notre Dame star safety Brandon Joseph trolled Syracuse and their running back Sean Tucker.

Notre Dame star Brandon Joseph trolls Syracuse
For those unaware, Tucker would include “#PL34SED” in every one of his postgame tweets. Hence why Joseph tweeted out, “Today we defeated Syracuse and I am #PL34SED with my performance.”
Saturday we lost our first game Syracuse 21 Clemson 27. I'm not pleased with the outcome of the game but now it's time to focus on winning out the rest of the season. I'm pleased with my performance but there's more I can do and I'm healthy. 5car 54yds 5rec 18yds and TD #PL34SED pic.twitter.com/6iO3pjg3of

Joseph made an impact very early in the game. By that, we mean on the first play. Syracuse quarterback Garrett Schrader attempted a pass, and Joseph picked it off, returning it for a 29-yard touchdown. Just like that, the Fighting Irish had an early 7-0 lead.

In the game, Joseph recorded two combined tackles, along with the interception returned for a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Tucker ran for 60 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. That touchdown took place late in the third quarter on a four-yard run to cut Syracuse’s deficit to 24-17. Tucker also caught four passes for 32 yards.
Notre Dame will now look to build off of this win over Syracuse next week, when they take on Clemson.
