A Syracuse football reporter is accusing the Miami Hurricanes mascot of hitting her during the Orange’s 42-38 upset win over Hurricanes at the Carrier Dome last Saturday.
Ashley Wenskoski, a sports anchor and reporter for CNY Central, tweeted out Sebastian the Ibis (Miami’s mascot) got on one knee and asked for her number, claiming he wasn’t focused on the game, which was close in the fourth quarter:
Sebastian’s L with Wenskoski – who is also a Syracuse alum – wasn’t as big as Miami’s as the loss kept them out of the ACC Championship game in favor of Clemson and could put them in danger of missing the College Football Playoff.
Syracuse got 380 yards passing and three touchdowns from quarterback Kyle McCord to improve to 9-3 after finishing 2-6 last season.
The win moved them into the Top 25 in both polls and as high as No. 23 in the AP poll.
