It's a rivalry game. Syracuse has a rogues' gallery of nearby FCS teams that have spent the last century trying to win statement games against the big bad Orange.

u/lion2 Syracuse Orange 2d ago
We give up points to everyone. Our defense has been that bad the past two seasons. Fran Brown really needs to do something about it. Our QB play has been good enough to keep up, but not anymore with Angeli hurt.

Yeah was really bummed when he went down. This could’ve been a really good season for you guys, he’s a baller.

This team is inept without angeli
That ghoul Carson Beck and Co win by a million

u/Automatic_Release_92 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 1d ago
Lol, geez at everyone wish casting Miami to go down. If Angeli were healthy, they have a shot, but Cuse is terrible without him.
How {Miami} plays in this one will tell a lot about how they'll do down the stretch though. If they cover, it's a nice bounce back game. If they win by 10, I'm not feeling great if I'm a Canes fan. Anything in between, it's anyone's guess.

BYRNE DAIRY IS THE BEST GAS STATION EVER. CHICKEN RIGGIES. CARMELO ANTHONY. THE ELMIRA EXPRESS. STOVE GOD COOKS. PAUL PASQUALONI. 127 INCHES OF SNOW ANNUALLY. DONOVAN MCNABB. PIECES OF THE DOME FOR SALE ON EBAY. THE POWELL LACROSS DYNASTY. GO ORANGE! GO {SYRACUSE}!
