Since Dino Babers arrived at Syracuse, the Orange have shown tantalizing potential.
In his first year in 2016, a win over Top 25 Virginia Tech produced a postgame speech so passionate, so heartfelt, Babers had his calendar filled for weeks just to answer media requests about what turned one to be one of the most viral moments of the college football season.
Then last year, Syracuse took down No. 2 Clemson on a Friday night on national television, producing yet another round of publicity and praise for all the work Babers, his players and staff have done to get the program headed in the right direction.
