Syracuse pummels Holy Cross 42-14 on Family Weekend.

A win is a win is a win. That was most definitely the case in Syracuse football’s 42-14 win over Holy Cross on Saturday. Now, there were a fair bit of struggles in this one. But, one of the biggest positives was the play of wide receiver Jackson Meeks. The Georgia transfer had a career day. 10 receptions, career high. 161 yards, career high and a touchdown to boot. When you compound that with a touchdown last week, it speaks to Meeks’ ability and confidence in himself.

Honestly, every game you envision yourself having the best game of your career. But this game, I was in the right positions at the right time. And everybody did their job right so I was able to do my job.

He made those same catches at practice at Georgia. He practices hard. To be able to go to Georgia you have to be a good football player. And he’s a committed, good young man. I’m just happy he’s getting the opportunities he’s getting right now. I think he’s taken full advantage of the passes that are being thrown to him. He’s also doing a good job in the run game.

Now, it’ll be a while before these seats are filled again to watch Jackson Meeks and this Syracuse team because they’re out for the entirety of October, starting with UNLV this Friday at 9:00 p.m. Let’s see if SU can take this show on the road.
