With the team struggling early again the Roughnecks took a early penalty—which they did last home game as well—to which Dhane Smith took the opportunity to capitalize early…
Syracuse and Siena started their season in the Carrier Dome much the same way 2014 began. Last season, Syracuse topped the Saints 19-7.

Saint Johns had the epitome of an up-and-down season in 2014 and their record reflected that as they finished the season 7-7.

The big slide at the end of the season meant no Big East tournament for the Red Storm and of…
