26 NOV. 5, 2022 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED Estime, the sophomore running back who stampedes through defenses with delight, developed a habit of also giv- ing them the ball in recent weeks. His fumble vs. UNLV Oct. 22 was his third in four games. That one, turns out, sent him in the express lane to the sidelines for the final three quarters. He watched the Irish finish off a 44-21 win over the Rebels from the bench. He may as well have had an anvil on his back. Head coach Marcus Freeman, when asked two days later about Estime's response, said he was handling it "not well" but added "nobody has lost faith" in him. One game in the doghouse wasn't going to translate into a season there. Teammates propped him up dur- ing the game and during the week. "They're never giving up on me, giv- ing me fuel, telling me to keep my head up and just being there for me during a hard time," Estime said. "I wouldn't be able to bounce back without them." And bounce back, he did. Estime had a career-high 20 carries SYRACUSE INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
