SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Defensive tackle Jay Bromley had a sack for a safety and forced a fumble that was returned 17 yards for a score by Brandon Sharpe as the Syracuse defense shined in a 9-0 win in the Orange’s spring game.

Freshman quarterback Ashton Broyld did not take any snaps at the position, playing tailback instead as coaches work him in slowly. He did have one completion on a throwback pass, and on the next play, he gained 44 yards on a pretty catch-and-run.

Wideout Marcus Sales returned after missing all of 2011 because of legal problems and caught two passes for 68 yards, while Jeremiah Kobena had three receptions for 55 yards.
