WATCH: Stanford WR Elic Ayomanor pulls in incredible one-handed TD catch against Syracuse

Stanford Football Team Pulls Off Shocking Upset Against Orange

On Saturday, the Stanford Cardinal shocked the college football world by upsetting the Syracuse Orange. The Cardinal were 25-point underdogs coming into the game, but they played with heart and determination, and pulled off the improbable victory. The turning point of the game came in the 3rd quarter, when Stanford wide receiver Elic Ayomanor hauled in an incredible one-handed touchdown catch. The catch was so impressive that it went viral on social media, and it helped to spark the Cardinal's comeback win.

Ayomanor's Incredible Catch Highlights Stanford's Resurgent Season

Ayomanor's one-handed touchdown catch was a microcosm of Stanford's resurgent season. After going 3-9 in 2021, the Cardinal have rebounded to go 5-2 this year. The team is led by star running back E.J. Smith, who is one of the most dynamic players in the Pac-12. With Smith leading the way, the Cardinal are poised to make a run at the College Football Playoff.

Syracuse Struggles Continue Despite Strong Start to Season

The loss to Stanford was a major setback for the Orange, who started the season 4-0. The Orange have now lost two straight games, and they are in danger of missing out on a bowl game. The Orange offense has struggled in recent weeks, and the defense has not been able to make up for the lack of production. If the Orange want to salvage their season, they will need to find a way to get their offense back on track.

Stanford-Syracuse Rivalry Renewed After 28-Year Hiatus

The game between Stanford and Syracuse was the first meeting between the two schools since 1994. The rivalry was renewed after a 28-year hiatus, and it lived up to the hype. The game was close throughout, and it was not decided until Ayomanor's one-handed touchdown catch in the 3rd quarter. The victory was a big one for Stanford, and it is a sign that the Cardinal are back on the rise.
