Syracuse, N.Y. — When he got a word in edgewise at the press conference, Syracuse linebacker Marlowe Wax put everyone on notice about what the Orange defense wants to be in 2022 following a 48-14 win over UConn on Saturday night.

“I feel like we are more experienced, but it’s more than experience,” Wax said. “We want it more. We’re really trying to do something this year and prove a point to everybody that we can be a top defense in the nation. We’re going to keep on going and keep getting better and better.”
