In this story:

Syracuse starting quarterback Garrett Shrader has two stellar games to start the 2022 season. This past weekend, against UConn, was particularly excellent. He completed 20 of 23 passes for a career high 287 yards and accounted for five total touchdowns (three passing, two rushing). That performance made him the highest graded player, regardless of positive, in all of power five college football according to PFF College. 

It was the second straight week Shrader was the highest graded quarterback in power five football. He also earned that accolade after going 18-25 for 236 yards and two touchdowns along with 94 rushing yards and another score in the Orange's 31-7 season opening win over Louisville. 

Shrader was also added to the Davey O'Brien Award Watch List after being named a Davey O'Brien Great 8 Performer of the Week for his outing against UConn. The Davey O'Brien Award honors the nation's most outstanding quarterback each year. 

Syracuse has started the season strong with two blowout wins. Its biggest test of the season is ahead on Saturday when Big-10 foe Purdue comes to town featuring one of the nation's best passing attacks. It will be the Boilermakers first road game of the young season.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
