SU Offers Two 2020 Playmakers from Florida
We‚Äôve almost hit that time of year when northerners pack their bags for Florida to avoid the snow. The SU Football coaches didn‚Äôt exactly make the postseason trip to the sunshine state, but they at least made a phone call to extend offers to a couple of 2020 playmakers. Jaylan Knighton It‚Äôs safe to…

Looking at the Big Picture for the Rest of Syracuse’s Non-Conference Schedule
Through six games, the Orange are sitting as pretty as possible with a 6-0 record, but the biggest test of the non-conference schedule looms with a matchup against number two Kansas on Saturday. Even with that daunting task ahead of them, Syracuse fans should be feeling pretty good about how the non-conference schedule could go.…

Syracuse Football Recruit Makes Top Play on SportsCenter
Syracuse football recruit Trill Williams ended his high school playing career on Saturday, and he went out in style. The running back/cornerback athlete was running a deep receiver route toward the end zone when he tripped and fell on the grass over the goal line. The two defenders covering him dropped their guard. Laying on…

Syracuse Freshmen Step Up Big In Gutsy Win Over Maryland
To borrow a Dino Babers phrase, the freshmen showed Jim Boeheim they can cut the grass tonight. Syracuse leaned heavily on its newbies to gut out a 72-70 win over Maryland in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. A bad back couldn‚Äôt slow down Tyus Battle. Both the guard and Jim Boeheim said Battle was playing at…

Syracuse football offers trio of 2019 recruits
Obviously, the 2017 season did not end how Syracuse football fans expected or wanted in an abysmal loss to Boston College on Saturday. The Orange missed a bowl game for the fourth consecutive season and left its seniors without a bowl berth their collegiate careers. Not exactly the way you want to send out the…

Everything You Need To Know About Maryland
Maryland comes into the Carrier Dome Monday night to face Syracuse in a Big Ten/ACC Challenge matchup of two pretty similar teams. The Terrapins, a lot like the Orange, have a young roster and fairly tempered expectations this season. Additionally, both teams have played relatively similar schedules so far in terms of competition. However, unlike…

Three Up, Three Down: The Best and Worst Moments From Syracuse Football’s 2017 Season
To say that Syracuse had a roller coaster of a season would be an understatement. Sure, there was not a step forward in the record department from last season, but the on-field product, when healthy, was far better than a 4-8 finish might indicate. Here were the best and worst of the 2017 Orange. Three…

Rapid Reactions From BC: How SU Can Fix its Awful Defense
Boston College put Syracuse‚Äôs once promising season out of its own misery Saturday with a 42-14 throttling in the Dome. The blowout loss means Syracuse has now failed to win a game after its bye week and failed to win a game since losing star quarterback Eric Dungey to injury for the second straight year.…

The Fizz Predicts Syracuse and Boston College
Tyler Aki (6-5): Boston College 38 Syracuse 21 This Syracuse team is REELING. Don’t get me wrong, if Eric Dungey was playing in this game, I would be picking the Orange. But I have little faith in that happening. Syracuse’s offense has looked stagnant over the past six quarters. As for the defense, SU is…

How can Syracuse Basketball Take it to the Next Level?
By record alone, starting the season 5-0 is obviously what Syracuse basketball hoped would happen. Of course, teams aim to win every game they play. But in order to keep winning as SU plays tougher opponents, the Orange will have to bring its game to the next level. There is still work to be done…

Who is Syracuse Basketball’s Dark Horse?
Syracuse basketball is undefeated through its first five games of the season. To the casual eye, SU looks pretty good. But with a more critical look‚Äîand as Jim Boeheim knows well (he keeps saying it during post game press conferences)‚Äîthe Orange still have to get getter. The perfect player to lead that charge right now…

Eagle Eye: Three BC players to watch on Saturday
SU all but eliminated themselves from bowl contention with last week‚Äôs blowout loss to Louisville, but there‚Äôs still something to play for this weekend versus Boston College. With a win, SU can improve to 5-7, which would be a one-win improvement from last season. The victory would also mark the third straight win over the…

What SU Should be Thankful for this Thanksgiving
After a promising start, Syracuse football is in danger of finishing the season where it began. Considering the mood surrounding the program back in October, that‚Äôs a shocking statement, to say the least. Just after the Orange‚Äôs surprise win over Clemson, I wrote about the next steps¬†that SU needs to take as a program. Unfortunately,…

Three Stars From Syracuse’s Dominating Win Over Oakland
After halting an opening 7-2 run by Oakland, Syracuse put together its best half of basketball of the season en route to a 74-50 win over the Golden Grizzlies. Syracuse used an 18-5 run to take command of the game, largely because of its hustle across the board. The Orange forced nine first half steals,…

Post-game Evaluation: Louisville dismantles Syracuse 56-10
Going into the Louisville game on Saturday, not many people, including us here at the Fizz, gave Syracuse a chance to beat the Cardinals and defending Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson. Not after the performance the defense put forth last week versus Wake Forest. Not without Eric Dungey leading the offense. Even with those doubts…

Is Syracuse Basketball Better Than We Thought?
Yes, the sample size is small at the moment. But Syracuse basketball is 3-0 to start the season (as it should be), and the wins have been impressive so far. The Orange has beaten two tournament teams from last year as well as Cornell. The closest game has been Iona, but the Gaels are the…

Awards from Syracuse’s 80-67 Win over Texas Southern
So far, so good for Syracuse men‚Äôs basketball. The expectations around the Orange were almost non-existent this year following a snub from the NCAA Tournament and a mass exodus of talent. But SU has taken care of business out of the gate and moved to 3-0 with an 80-67 win over Texas Southern Saturday night…

Can This Be a Turnaround Weekend for Syracuse?
By: DA The Orange football team stands “on the edge of the cliff” as Dino Babers says. There are two games left to play and SU must win both to be bowl eligible. Coming into the season making a bowl game was not a mandate according to most fans. This would be a difficult, program-building…

The Fizz Predicts Syracuse and Louisville
Logan Grossman (5-4):¬†Louisville 42 Syracuse 24 Syracuse‚Äôs defense imploded in last weeks loss to Wake Forest. John Wolford had his way with the Orange defense both in the air and on the ground. Now all the Orange have to do to stay in the bowl hunt is slow down the defending Heisman trophy winner who…

Auburn Football’s Atmosphere is Incredible, Can Syracuse Do That?
I’m a Syracuse football fan from the ’90s. I know many of you go back much further than that. But as an ’01 SU grad, I was smack dab in the middle of the Donovan McNabb, Rob Konrad, Dwight Freeney years. The Dome used to rock and sway when the Hurricanes or Hokies or Wolverines…

Looking at Louisville: 3 Cardinals to watch on Saturday
After an embarrassing second half led to a disastrous loss to Wake Forest last week, SU football needs to win both games left on its schedule to guarantee itself a bowl berth. That path to the postseason doesn‚Äôt get off on very easy footing either. Syracuse travels down to Kentucky for its final road trip…

Examining The Optimistic and Pessimistic Outlooks on Syracuse Football
A Syracuse win against Louisville on Saturday puts the Orange in position to qualify for a bowl game with a home win over Boston College on Senior Day. A loss, and those bowl dreams fade to black. But, this game is about more than keeping the chance of a .500 record alive. This game is…

Positives and Negatives From Syracuse vs Iona
Tuesday night’s 71-62 Syracuse win over Iona was the definition of taking care of business. It wasn‚Äôt overly flashy or opinion-altering but, nonetheless, it was still what the Orange needed. Syracuse controlled the game for a full 40 minutes and looked just a little better than a pretty good Iona team. Now this win doesn‚Äôt…

Three Takeaways from SU’s 71-62 Win over Iona
It wasn‚Äôt always pretty, but Syracuse beat Iona 71-62 last night for its second win of the season. After the game, Jim Boeheim was very complimentary of the Gaels. Sure, the Orange has plenty of work to do, but Tuesday night was a step in the right direction. Iona made it a one possession game…

Three Things To Watch From Both Syracuse and Iona
Iona wraps up its Central New York swing with a stop in Syracuse tonight. The Gaels are on the heels of a 69-67 loss to Albany in its opener, meanwhile the Orange comes off a big win over Cornell. Last season, Iona won the MAAC and was ousted in the first round of the tournament…

Syracuse Just Had Its Worst Loss In The Dino Babers Era
The sample size is small, only 14 games to be exact. But Saturday‚Äôs loss to Wake Forest was the worst one that Syracuse has sustained in the Dino Babers era. Context is important for this exercise. The Orange was on the verge of a bowl game and the Demon Deacons were the most winnable game…

FizzCast: Syracuse Football Disintegrates Against Wake Forest
David Edelstein and Tim Leonard break down Syracuse football’s game against Wake Forest. The two discuss Zack Mahoney’s performance and the Syracuse defense’s second-half disappearance.

A Tale of Two Halves: How SU imploded versus Wake Forest
Wake Forest 64, Syracuse 43 from inside the Carrier Dome. No that‚Äôs not a poor showing from the SU basketball team in the middle of January, that‚Äôs the final score of SU football‚Äôs loss to Wake Forest on Saturday. Seeing that final tally, it‚Äôs plausible to come to the conclusion that Syracuse just put together…

Fizz Cast: Recapping Syracuse’s win over Cornell

Awards from Syracuse’s Season-Opening Win over Cornell
After a sloppy start, Syracuse hit the gas and cruised to a 77-45 win over Cornell in the regular season opener Friday. The Orange‚Äôs 2-3 zone suffocated the Big Red, who shot 13-of-25 (25 percent) from the field on its way to the lowest scoring output by an SU opponent since 2014. A few players…

The Fizz’s 2017-18 Basketball Crystal Ball Predictions
After a disappointing NIT exit against Ole Miss last season, SU looks to return to form, but it will have to do so without four starters from last season. Here’s how The Fizz thinks 2017-18 will pan out for the Orange. Logan Grossman:¬†17-14 Syracuse‚Äôs new players this season alone would be a large rotation for…
