Syracuse place-kicker Andre Szmyt decided last December that he wasn’t going to return for his final year of eligibility. Last season, Syracuse’s special teams were coached by committee and Szmyt slumped, making just nine of 14 field goal attempts. “I felt like I needed a coach who could kind of direct me in the right way if things weren’t going as planned and I didn’t really have that. Now that we have someone, it’s really helpful.”Szmyt, who also handles kickoffs, is nine of 10 on field goals this season, including another 50-yarder. For his career, Szmyt is 74 of 89 (83.15%) on field goals and 173 of 177 on extra points for 395 points.
