Sean Tucker Rushes For 6th Most Yards in Syracuse History in Win Over Wagner (Highlights) /

In this story:

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse star running back Sean Tucker ran for a career high 232 yards and three touchdowns in the Orange's 59-0 win over Wagner on Saturday. The 232 yards were the sixth most in a single game in SU history and was just 20 yards short of Joe Morris' program record of 252 set against Kansas in 1979. You can watch highlights of Tucker's performance in the video above.

In addition, Tucker moved up to seventh on Syracuse's career rushing yards list, passing David Walker, Dee Brown, Moe Neal and Bill Hurley during Saturday's victory.

With seven games left in the 2022 season, Tucker has a very realistic shot of moving up to second on that list and becoming just the fourth player in Syracuse history to surpass 3,000 career rushing yards. Tucker would need 757 yards to pass Walter Reyes for second place in Orange history.

The career leader currently is Joe Morris with 4,299. That record appears to be safe from Tucker, as the Syracuse star would need to rush for 1,631 yards to tie Morris. That would equate to 233 yards per game, or one yard more than current career high.

The Orange has a bye week coming up before hosting NC State on Saturday, October 15th.

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.
