Why Syracuse Should Try To Become Wide Receiver U
If the first two years of the Dino Babers era has taught us anything it’s that his offense makes Syracuse wide receivers look really, really good. In year one, it was unheralded grad-transfer Amba Etta-Tawo, who finished in the top 10 nationally in receiving yards and suddenly went from a little-known wide-out at Maryland to…

LSU is Better Than Syracuse, But 21 Points Better?
We discussed¬†last week the questionable line Vegas¬†had created for Syracuse’s games vs. CMU. The Chippewas were coming off a dominant performance against a Power 5 team on the road, running by Kansas 45-27. SU was reeling after losing to MTSU at the Dome. It didn’t seem like the Orange should’ve been favored over any team…

Syracuse Football Gives Three 2019 Recruits First Offers

This week, the script has flipped. SU handed out…

The Math Behind Syracuse’s Road to a Bowl
Coming into the season it seemed like an impossibility: Syracuse playing in the postseason.
