Three SU starters scored in double digits to help the Orange cruise to their twelfth straight win of the season.

Orange players, fans are frustrated in 14-5 victory as the winless Friars try to kill as much clock possible.

Nassib was named SU’s starter early last spring, but then Greg Paulus arrived forcing him into a backup role. This year he may be competing with sophomore Charley Loeb, who proved he is worthy of a look from head coach Doug Marrone and his staff after Saturday’s Spring Game.
