Syracuse keeps starters on field during fourth quarter against New Hampshire

Syracuse head coach Fran Brown kept quarterback Steve Angeli and the first-team offense on the field into the fourth quarter of the team's lopsided victory over New Hampshire on September 5, 2026. While the game was well in hand, the coaching staff opted to extend the playing time for the starting unit rather than inserting reserves immediately. This decision drew attention due to the significant margin of the score. Players and staff navigated the late-game period with the starters remaining active in the game's final phase. The coaching staff oversaw this personnel choice as part of their strategy for the lopsided home contest. The team continues its season schedule following this result.
