Syracuse won a national championship in 1959 with Ernie Davis, the first African-American Heisman Winner. The '60s saw the running of Floyd Little and Larry Csonka. Art Monk and Joe Morris starred at Syracuse in the 1980's. The Orange's best success came under the coaching of Dick MacPherson and his successor Paul Pasqualoni. They would lead the team to 4 conference titles and 11 bowl game appearances. Some of the great players they coached include Donovan McNabb, Marvin Harrison, and Qadry Ismail.
